Re: porter built stuff part 2

Your Blazer looks great! Couple of questions for you. Do the stock control arms hang down significantly lower than the crossmember? Do you have a picture of the floor in the rear. I am curious about how big your notch is and if it is even possible to put a seat in the back?

Re: porter built stuff part 2

My only question is did you have to ditch the heater box/fan to get full drop and if so how big of wheel and tire combo do you have?

Re: porter built stuff part 2

low88burb i paid $90.00 for the steering and $900.00 for the drop member but well worth it, it moves wheels forward and centers them,and also gives you about an inch between wheels and findr im runin 22x9.5 in front and can drive the truck on the ground, it also gives more ground room under drop member
