    don't be surprised if it ends up weighing more. :shock:

    5 Tons under a deuce

    i forgot to ask, how is the truck on power now? between the extra axle weight, wheel weight, tire size/weight, and slightly taller gear ratio, i would imagine that you've got some significant power loss. i definitely had to turn up the fuel in my truck - it's ok now. what's your...

    yeah, he did a top-notch job. PSC sells their kit w/ or w/o the pump, but also includes hose, fittings, resevoir, brakets, etc - i recommend the 'kit' either way. and with a bolt-on pump, the only thing you'll have to fab is the valve-column junction and the ram mounting. caveman' did...

    yes, Steve and I have spoken many times, and we both agree that his current brake kits are too small for GVW over 8k# when big tires are in the mix. mainly, the fronts are way too small. however, on my bobber, the rear kit will likely work quite well. he's working on something bigger and...

    none of the bolt-on kits are heavy-duty enough; trust me, i'm looking. one company should have a heavier kit in the next month. i have the part numbers for DIY, but not the time or equipment for the bracket fabrication and part machining required. no worries. you going to do a write-up on...
