Cut the 2.5" difference and replaced steering rack! now it works like original Lev2/3!

Unfortunatly we had fail with our first order from PB FAB - guys from LowToys.fi who must send the order didnt do it.. we waited 6 month and finaly they told us that they forgot to order it (( But my friend who order PB kit few weeks after me recieved it! The problem was with types of kits! He ordered kit with coilovers, not bags... So we need to replace some details on custom made)))

Good catch, I wondered because of the Extreme(level 3) requires notching for the steering and I saw you didn't have to notch it. Your mods look good!

I have the level 3 Extreme waiting to go on as well.

We cut of piece of frame for sreering rack! thats it
But i have problem with spindels! do you know what manufacturer they usind in their kit?? 2.5 dropped with -1.25 wide
and question about front brake system OEM or conversion?

What problems are you having? I think there is only two or three different spindles for the c30 chassis so it should be easier to narrow down.

I have western chassis spindles but I don't think I got them direct from Porterbuilt.

If you need any measurements or more detailed pictures let me know.

Did you already ream the steering arms out to 5/8" like detailed in the installation instructions.

Not a problem

Yes, you can re-use the 8 lug dually hubs. The c30 drop spindles are designed to do just that, work with all the factory equipment.
