I am doing the JB8 calipers and hydroboost off an astro van. But the astro van brake master/ reservoirs looks to small for my application. So I may have to use the Silverado unit you used. It will probably be a month or so before I will be installing them. I was wondering what model Silverado did the master cylinder come out of? 2500 3500? Also on your air ride did you modify your lower control arms? I'm installing 3800 airbags on the front of mine. I think they are 1/2 wider than the D2600s you used. Are you sunning stock height spindles?
