Are you going to be buying a hydro boost kit or putting one together yourself? DIY4x4 has the nicest rear disc brake brackets that I have found and are at an affordable price.
I robbed a complete hydro boost system off an '89 Suburban. Are these the brackets your talking about?

Hey Pops70,

What size tire are you planning to run? What engine do you have and have you modified it?

I've played with some different gearing and engine combos in past trucks and find 4.11's with 35's and OD is perfect with a torquey big block, but would go 4:56's with 35's if running OD and a small block. I guess it really would depend on your engine build and of course what you are doing with the truck. I like the stated combos with low end torque motors build for daily driving, low rpm cruising, and some towing.

Was out playing in the snow today.
