Dana 60, 14 Bolt disc, do I need?

[BlazerBoy]

I am going to be putting a dana 60 and 14 bolt with rear disc under my truck soon. Do I need the master cylinder, brake booster or the proportioning valve? I still have the donor truck so I can take them. I thinking of getting a new proportioning valve anyways. Thanks

If you do a search, this was discussed at length a short time ago. Some say you need an adjustable prop valve (I'm among them) and others seem to get by with anything from the stock valve, to a Cady valve, to a Camaro valve, to no valve at all. Read through and decide for yourself.

I have this setup and I was told by TSM company that if I had tires 36" or larger, I didn't need to change the pro. valve and I believe they were correct. The extra weight of the larger tires keeps the rear brakes from locking up. Steve

i run 35's w/no valve what so ever to my rear disc--and i have to jump on them really hard to get the rears to lock up

I did NOT put on a prop. valve (or remove the residual pressure thing, I forget the name, hold 10# of pressure on the rear brake line instad of a more disc-friendly 2#). I have NOT had any problenms with lock-up.
I think a prop. valve would nto hurt, since you will need to run new hard lines for disc brakes anyways. Might as well plumb a $40 valve inline. But I didn;t and have not had any problems.

I'm running the one ton master cylinder & hydroboost setup along with a proportioning valve from a 4-wheel disc equipped P30 series Van.
