    Super singles front/Duals on rear?

    i made the switch i ran it for three years with duals and about a year with singles and can tell you from experince singles are way better less rotating weight means faster and easier to stop plus better gas milage.more weight per tire means better traction and from there it turns into the size...

    Tow bar from d rings on M1009

    ya the medium tow bar would be great but if you are looking to tow it with your civy truck you might just look into getting one of those 100 dollar ones they sell at j c whitney for jeeps and other trucks with a flat bumper then make adapters to fit your d rings those have a 2 inch ball i have...

    Should I Jump in or Walk away....

    ya you have to do everything that goes with the mod you are doing its all about the combo.you can say big cams dont work they just dont work with stock torque convertors.you cant say big tires dont work they just dont work with low gear ratios

    on your offroad rigs are they your only brake system do you hav spools in those trucks or lockers cuz even lockers give a way for the wheels to go two different speeds and open rearends are even worse

    Should I Jump in or Walk away....

    think of it like putting disc brakes on the front without a proportioning valve the back brakes would lock up causing the car to spin out

    Should I Jump in or Walk away....

    ya dont think full pressure would work since they would be trying to eliminate the other brakes since they would grab faster than the drum brakes cuz they are using the gear reduction of the rearend to help them out which would load the rearend really hard giving you tire hop i'd be really...

    Should I Jump in or Walk away....

    i was thinkin with an adjustable proportioning valve mounted in the cab and only give it enough to get things how they were before the bigger tires i really only need it when im hauling a heavy load i thought about using another master cyl and i could hook the pedals together like on a tractor

    Should I Jump in or Walk away....

    do you have a proportioning valve to limit how much pressure goes to the pinion brake or was it getting full pressure

    Should I Jump in or Walk away....

    has anyone that is opposed to pinion brakes actually had them on thier truck or is it what a friend of a friend said .just wondering?cuz everyone is saying how they work when they are used as the only way to stop.but that wasnt the question at hand it was simply if they would give you better...

    Should I Jump in or Walk away....

    i am not saying to run just pinion brakes nor was that the discusion it was adding them with the drum brakes in the wheels question is would the stock drum brakes plus pinion brakes give you better stopping and the answer is yes all day would it give you better brakes than 5 tons probably not...

    Should I Jump in or Walk away....

    yes the pinion will be turning at 6.2 time the speed of the wheel but the effort to stop it will be 6.72 times less divided by 2 since the wheel brake will be doing over half of the stopping disk brakes disapate heat faster than drum brakes to nascar" stop from over 200 thaousand of times with...

    Should I Jump in or Walk away....

    i agree i wouldnt run just pinion brakes but as an add on they would help enough to get the brakes you want since when you need better brakes is ussually when you are really loaded you have alot ot ground pressure and the chance of one side breaking free is very small and just adding it to what...
