Porterbuilt 1960-62 Chevy Truck Front Dropmember - Coilovers

Porterbuilt's Version 7, Level 2 Front Dropmember Coilover system for 1960-62 Chevy Pickups is designed to replace the factory cross-member and steering system. Engineered as a modular bolt-in unit, its advantages include:

- Revised suspension geometry for improved performance and ride quality
- Rack and pinion steering for increased steering response
- Proper wheel center-line placement (sets the wheel center-line in the middle of the wheel well opening for a more balanced look)
- Narrowed trac-width (Level 2 narrows the trac-width approx. 1.25” per side)
- Added ground clearance over factory components
 

When combined with a 2.5” drop spindle, 29” tall tire, and Porterbuilt Tubular Control Arms, the Level 2 Front will set the lowest point of the factory factory frame rails approx. 5-6" off the ground at ride height.

When running the Level 2 Front, the engine placement is moved forward and up from its factory location.

The Level 2 Coilover DOES require modification the factory inner fenders and hood hinges.

DESIGNED TO BE PAIRED WITH THE PORTERBUILT 1960-62 REAR DROPMEMBER, LEVEL 2 COILOVER SYSTEM.
