HAHA, Yea the little 42's are going to work for a while. I will upgrade eventually but I'm spending too much money too fast. You know how it goes. I plan on 47" LTB's, but my plans are always changin.

thanks man.
Me personally, I have only experienced a clevis type "attachment point" (whatever you want to call it) on lawn mower trailers, and well clevis style tow points on a bumper. And they were all sloppy as h e l l , so i just had to ask for my own personal information.

I have to order the front rotors today, then take all of the rotors to a machine shop. The hub is a little too fat for the rotors. For front calipers I'm going to run Duramax front calipers, and the rears will be 84 ish 3/4 ton chevy front calipers. The problem now is I don't have cores and it's costing me double.
I'll keep you guys updated.

Go hit up the junk yard or local brake shop to see what they have. Might be able to find some cores there.

So what rotors fit without having to modify the hubs? Seems like alot of money to spend on those hubs then have to have them modified to get a rotor to bolt up. I would hope there is something that would work with the way the hubs are?

There is a floating rotor that works but I don't wanna go that route. As far as I know there isn't a rotor that will slide on. The machine work is inexpensive, I could probly clearance the rotor hats with a die grinder but thats too much work for me. You only have to remove 1/4" from the rotor hats so its not a big deal.
The fact that your trying to use 1 ton stuff on 2.5 axles makes me realize some of the stuff might have to be modified.

Subscribing. Nice build. Dig the toob.
I've been seeing some questions about front rockwell clearance. So I decided to take some pics and give you guys some measurements.
My truck has 52" front springs (axle is moved 3" forward) and about 7-8" of lift. I'm also running a 6.2 but I think the engine crossmembers and oil pans are around the same.
The engine crossmember is 3" from the toploader and the oil pan is 4-5" at the closest point.

is that the ride height measurements? have you had a chance to flex it and see how close they get?
Are those cable shifters something you fabbed up yourself, or something you bought?
