I have all Porterbuilt and while I can weld and fab parts, seeing the products first hand, I’m hesitant to try and do it myself.

I think fabbing the rear shouldn’t be a difficult process.

The front, however, takes some skill. What I mean is that I have seen some homemade dropmembers and Z’d Frames where the wheels have serious negative camber when laying frame. While that may be no big deal to some, I think that’s what separates the pricey fabbed parts. Next time you’re at a show or meet, pay attention to the trucks laying frame and the wheel positions.

I have never rode in a homemade, lay frame, bagged truck, but the ride quality of the Porterbuilt stuff is unbelievably smooth. They are pricey, but you get what you pay for.

In the end, if you trust your welds and fab skills, go for it. I’m sure Porterbuilt and GSI all started with building their own stuff because they wanted to lay frame and not buy a fabbed kit.
