Re: what do i need to lay frame?
What is your budget?
There are two ways to go about it... Zee the front end, 4-link rear, c-notch... Or drop members from Porterbuilt Hot Rods Posted via Mobile Device

Re: what do i need to lay frame?
ooimpalaoo what you really should do is put all your questions in one post rather. From what I have gathered you have a low budget and your wanting to lay frame. You also mentioned you want to lat pinch so thats yet another can of worms since laying frame will not get your pinch on the ground.
Focus on what your "obtainable" goal is and we will be glad to offer advice.

Re: what do i need to lay frame?
You could use Porterbuilts truck arms in the stock location & lay frame if the rest of the set-up supports it. Factory arms would require too much spacing & be dangerous because of scrub-line issues using 15" wheels.

Re: what do i need to lay frame?
ok but i think i read on this site that having the arms and bags on the outside of the frame rides better is this true?

The ride is more from the bags and shocks then anything.

Re: what do i need to lay frame?
The factory 2-link arrangement has less binding vs. the aftermarket 'outside the frame' set-ups.
