9" is now fully assembled with new discs with internal parking brake drums, Ctsv calipers. Since the 9" was technically custom built I was able to spec the diameter of the hub so that the rotor fit nicely to the axle. Aluminum center section but I swear this thing weighs 220+ pounds 🤦*♂️

Rear done, moving on to the front brakes.

The Porterbuilt front kit with tubular arms. Stock crossmember. I bought the CPP 2.5" drop spindles, CPP aluminum hubs, also drilled for 5 on 4.75". Looking at the caliper brackets on the cast CPP drop spindles it became clear that there was not going to be any easy way to mount these calipers. I had hoped to machine an adapter bracket. Instead I ended up having to chop off the caliper brackets, machine new brackets and tig weld in the correct location. It took more mental problem solving than anything. Turned out great. I machined the face of the brackets after TIG welding to take any warpage out from welding.
