Yeah man -- you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself!! Great job on getting the job done.

I have my axle hanging but still need to set the trac-bar, draglink, sway-bar, dual stabilizers and now my SumoSprings!!

Do you mean the sway-bar links? I probably will leave the sway bar off for a bit -- but without the drag-link you wouldn't be able to steer -- so I don't think you actually left that off!!

:-D

im running 2015 20s factory takeoffs for now, they are close to 34"s no clearance issues but i did move the front bumper out about an inch and trimmed the lower black plastic faring . I will go with 35"s after all the mod work is complete !

Brake Line Advice

HI all, My 6.0 long block is on the way, so I decided to tackle the MG kit while waiting.




Any advice on how to button up the front passenger brake line and abs lines?
The trimming removed the mount points for the brake line, and I am curious how others dealt with this hard line.

Gently reshape the hard lines with your hands and drill new holes in the remaining lip area to reattach the mounting clips. Just take your time and do a little at a time. I worked the lines from each end near the frame rails to help with the manipulation at the trimmed area of the cross member.

Thanks for the reply and advice. Currently the line is too tall now, and would like to keep it mounted in the stock clips on the drivers side.
