I put the caliper on today the wheel goes over the caliper but it does hit on the inside of the wheel. I'm thinking it's just a backspace issue but I'm not for sure

I doubt they will. They won’t fit over my stock C4 Corvette calipers. 16’s will but you can’t find much tire selection in 16’s.

I ended up selling the porterbuilt setup. I’m going a with a full Choppin Block frame now

Why the switch from PB to CB? Do you have any pics of the rear PB setup? I'm curious to see how the new kit works. I've heard it bolts in which is what I'm looking for. Thanks.

I like the choppin block full frame cuz the cab and the frame lay out at the same time. My porterbuilt kit was weld on in the rear

looks awesome.... I did the scotts front air ride, you might think about bump stops for the control arms........if a bag blows or an airline spings off it will be a disaster for the fenders and rockers/ doorsteps for they hang below the frame rails....not sure how yours is designed or if they have them as mine did not (i will be adding some in the next week or two) It is rare for it to happen but something simple in this stage of the game to add to give peace of mind... keep the pics coming... looks awesome and porter built is some top-notch stuff not to mention fabrication beauty.:metal:

Ya the porterbuilt stuff was nice but I actually ended up selling that frame. I’m getting the choppin block full frame. The body and frame lay out at the same time
