porterbuilt dropmember or other stuff? (pics)

The Dropmember will fix all your problems! I love mine. It bolted right in. The only welding is for the Rack notch. It centers your wheels. Lowers the motor. Porterbuilt has over-engineered the kit and it shows. Go to www.67-72chevytrucks.com and you can find out alot more info on it and ask him questions.

porter built is the way to go and this is why im doing my truck with the kp 6 link and porterbuilt frt x memeber

I have the DM in my '72 burban and it was worth every penny and then some. Nathan Porter the owner is super cool and some of the best customer service/support of any one I've done business with. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. It's definately and investment grade peice that will solve most of the problems associated with laying out these chassis.

those are not 73-87 uppers to begin with they look like 1 ton uppers from a 88-99 chevy but i know the uppers have to be notched for the steering shaft when its b/d if im correct

Any quality part that will make your ride safer,better handing, & function as you want.is the way to go. Even if you have to get one part at a time!!

Like everyone else is telling you, I would buy the Dropmember! Don't just bandaid the garbage already installed. Your burban looks pretty good on the outside already, buy the Dropmember and get it installed. You will enjoy how much better it drives down the road, and you can fix the cosmetics after! Good luck!

well, i decided this weekend that it's not worth all the bullshit i've put up with. I'm getting the burban fixed so it's safe to drive (new bags, new shocks and mounts, fix all the stuff on the frame), try to clean it up, and i'm selling the burban and my s10 and buying something stock in good shape and bagging it. I bought the burb for 2 reasons:

1. The s10 will always be a 2 seater, and since i have a 2 1/2 yr old, i wanted something cool the whole family can cruise in. This won't work, because i put my daughter's car seat in the burb, and the door handle is right where she can grab it. Not usually a big deal, but there's no lock due to shaved door, and the kicker is it's a suicide door. Don't really want her yanking that while driving down the road.

2. I'm 31 and work out of town during the week, i wanted something i did'nt have to work on all the time. I can only work on stuff on the weekends after everyone goes to bed (usually can start at 11pm or so, the wife's philosophy is since i'm gone all week, when i'm home, i need to be spending time with the fam, not working on a neverending truck project, and i'm too old to pull the all-nighters like i used to). My s10's been bagged for 4 years, i've got to drive it 3 months out of that. I bought the burban in August, i've driven it 3 times (counting the hellride bringing it 1400 miles from Utah to Arkansas). I'm tired of having cool shit that i have to work on all the time. I'm just going to buy a mid to late 90's suburban and get it bagged. Just drive it like that for a while, then if i want to do the rollpan/shaved shit/etc., i can do it when i want, and it does'nt need to be down all the time.

Sorry for the rant, but i wanted yall to be the first to know (well, 3rd or so, but ya know). thanks to everyone here for the help, this is always the first place i come when i need a question about a vehicle answered.
