Porter Built Stage 2 Rear Basic Questions

Does anyone have any pictures of the lower shock bar installed ? I looked on thier website and did not see any . I need to see how the bar is mounted to the trailing arms. Also the bag has three holes on the bottom for mounting. I know I use the center hole for the long bolt thru the trailing arm but do I need to drill two more holes thru the trailing arms for the other two mounting holes in the bag ?

Re: Porter Built Stage 2 Rear Basic Questions

It's not the best picture but it's the only one I have. Are you running Porterbuilt rear control arms? I'm only using the center hole in the bag for mounting the bag to the rear control arm. If the other two holes were needed my thoughts are that Porterbuilt would have drilled the other 2 holes in their arms, therefore I believe one bolt for the center hole will suffice.

Re: Porter Built Stage 2 Rear Basic Questions

Thanks for the picture. Did alot of searching and found out what I need to know. You are right about the center bolt. I'm running the stock trailing arms. I guess what threw me was the stock bolt that held the coil springs in are so much bigger than the the 3/8 inch bolt that holds the air bag. This is my first time installing air bags so I may be over thinking !!!!

My first time running bags as well. Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question on this forum and everyone here is extremely helpful.
