I got the brakes on ebay. 2 reasons why I am not running the Ebrake 1 money that option is like $700 more and I like the clean look of the cab with less pedals hangin and brake wires across the bottom. This option is upgradeable so if I ever have the need I can alwys install it.

Front brakes are also from a C6 14'' discs with 6 piston calipers, they are huge. I havnt started on the front. I will completly redo the front suspension
new drop spindles, tubular control arms top and bottoms and run coilovers. Will eliminate the stock spring and shock set up.

heres a sample pic

Alot of hrs. went into the tubbin process. The method of monting these wide tubs is just like the original fully removable not welded on, I managed to preserve the same bolt pattern.

few pics

Just curious, what does converting to coil overs do to your payload and towing capacity?

Do you know the part # of the Coilover you installed in the rear 4 link.
Thank you
