Porterbuilt Tubular Control Arms Starting at $999

We’ve been building the Dropmember for years now… so we figured we were overdue on releasing our own tubular control arms!!! We decided to do a couple things different to set our arms apart from the competition! First, we incorporated a machined Delrin bushing into our arm design. We weren’t the biggest fans of the “squeaky” polyurethane bushings, and the factory rubber impregnated bushings have quite a bit of deflection, and are a pain to press in and out. So to solve these “issues” we went with the Delrin. No squeaks, no deflection, and of course a nice machined fit that can be easily removed for paint and assembly! Second we incorporated .5″ more drop into our arms than the competition…. who ever said a half inch doesn’t matter? we know better! Other key points include: new ball joints and machined billett cross-shafts; and the option of Chromoly tubing! No worries ONE TON guys… we got ya covered! We are also building these arms to accept the one ton and 3/4 ton ball joints. Need the arms either lengthened or narrowed from stock? We do that too!PBtubearms001
