This video is exactly what I needed to get a set myself. Been looking at them for awhile. But after breaking a ball joint while driving. With my cupped lowers. I realized pb arms geometry changes ball joint angle/binding. Definitely strong and safe move!

I’ve had a good experience with stock arms but it will be good to know if aftermarket make a huge difference.

@charliejoe01 Ай бұрын

Both great companies. I believe you're comparing apples to oranges as one set is narrowed and the other isn't.

@SIMPLE.C10 Ай бұрын

I’m really only comparing the benefits of one compared to the other like powder coating, ball joint installation, and clarifying that if you go with narrow then get the right backspacing. I’m not really saying one is necessarily better than the other. I hope that came across clear in the video. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.

Great stuff as always. Hopefully when I start on my 58 apache I can figure all this out.

Let me know when you start!

That wasn’t a mistake it was a learning moment for me it would be an expensive learning moment if I was to change arms

@joejeepy1 Ай бұрын

I’m thinking of getting the PB 1in forward 1in narrow do you think I’ll have an issue with 5in back spacing? My Wheel size are 22x9 Thanks for the video! It’s like you knew I was getting ready to buy these. lol

@SIMPLE.C10 Ай бұрын

I think you would be fine with the porterbuilt ones. Your tire may get real close to the shock at full lock.

@brentsheets117 Ай бұрын

With the Porter Built control arms can you still run stock inter fenders with them being cut out

@Bishop-xi7gk Ай бұрын

No I have the porterbuilt dropmember. And I had to use the simple guide to cut out my inner fenders. That is of course I’m running 22’s and laying frame though

@SIMPLE.C10 Ай бұрын

Yes you can run factory inners with the simple guide cut out. That’s what I’m doing. It depends on your backspacing though.

@brentsheets117 Ай бұрын

I’m running transport wheels and have simple guide cut outs.. do these control arms help with camber

@SIMPLE.C10 Ай бұрын

@@brentsheets117 I can’t really tell about camber yet but I can measure it once lucky is back. I can put a level on the outside of Francis with the factory arms and then lucky with the porterbuilt. Good question.

@Rg_rider13 Ай бұрын

I like the control arms I just bought 4.5 backspace they work for now, what size tires are those I know 22” but what is the sidewall

@rodneycoburn5223 Ай бұрын

When using the stock trailing arm crossmember and trailing arms do you use the stock drive shaft with a carrier bearing or a 1 piece drive shaft? If it's a 1 piece drive shaft do you need to cut the top of the cross member out? Any advice is helpful, thank you for your advice in advance.

@SIMPLE.C10 Ай бұрын

One piece driveshaft on short bed. Shorten the driveshaft about an inch. You’ll need to measure. You need to notch the trailing arm crossmember up top or change it to the tinworks one.

@Bishop-xi7gk Ай бұрын

I have a porterbuilt level 3 kit. There narrowed and forward 1 inch. So does my buddy and he’s running mobsteel 22’s with 5 inch back spacing and they turn completely and lock perfectly. I wonder if it’s because we’re running the entire porterbuilt dropmember and not the stock one is why we’re not having the turn issues you had. I was empresses how easy you put the ball joints on the lowers. I had a hard time on my porterbuilt I ended us scratching the powder coat real bad But then again I used a 12 ton press

@SIMPLE.C10 Ай бұрын

The problem was with the chopping block arms not the porterbuilt. The porterbuilt worked great. And a drop member changes everything in the front so that does factory in. Thanks so much for the feedback and watching. Sorry you scratched your arm. It will eventually get drug anyways haha.

@Customs712 Ай бұрын

I have really bad camber on stock control arms (especially when aired out… will Porterbuilt arms help with that? Also, what exactly does the “narrowed” mean on their arms? The arms themselves are narrowed or they bring the wheel in, narrowing the width? Thanks!

@SIMPLE.C10 Ай бұрын

Narrows the track width. What size wheels and tires do you have and do you have drop spindles, are your lowers cupped? Let me know more about your build. The camber actually helps with tucking these wheels when laid out but straightens up at ride height.

@Customs712 Ай бұрын

@@SIMPLE.C10 currently have 22x9 up front with 5 3/4” backspace. I will be getting new wheels same size up front except I will be running 6” backspace. 2.5” drop spindles lowers are cupped.
