Ok I want to do a disk brake conversion on my 14BFF and this is what I have come up with is it all I need what am I missing?

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]DIY4X Disc conversion kit $70.00
Autozone 1987 3/4 ton front brake rotors x[/FONT] 2 = $49.88
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Autozone 1987 3/4 ton front brake calipers, pins, pads x 2 = $56.95 [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif](after cores, yes I have cores)

Ok so far its $149.86 I know I'm missing the brake hoses and shipping for the brackets but what else am I missing?[/FONT]
 
does your state require an ebrake?

also toss in cost of fluids, and maybe a proportioning valve to adjust the brakes afterwards. Heard that makes the brakes alot easier to adjust post swap.

My state does require an E-brake but around here the Inspection places get paid off if you dont have one :deal: :D I know this because this is what my mom does:eek1::haha:
 
New flex lines to the rear calipers
Replace the hardline with shorter pieces...no sense in having a loop from using the current lines
Caliper pins
Brake Pads
Fluid
 
buy loaded calipers, should come with pads an hardware...
 
may also need rear axle seals... depending on age and condition of current ones. But fortunately its cheap, like $4 a side
 
I just rec'd a set of brackets from Dan at Ruff Stuff Specialties.
Top notch parts & he offers a CK5 discount on them (look in the vendors section)
I liked the fact that there is no need for the spacer & longer bolts .
Just another option for you to look at

About replacing the hard lin can't I just cut them shorter and flare them and then use the lil conector for hard to soft line? like there is in the front?

Its a brake line inverted flare nut... you can just use the ones that are on your lines right now, but if you want to replace:

Dorman P/N: 321413.1 3/16" Steel Nut
Any autoparts store should be able to get it for you... i think they are only a couple bucks each\
