I don't know how you do it...

This is what happened when we tried...BEWARE

Look how thin this was. And the wheel still didn't fit...

 

Yikes, any pics before of how much your ground off?

I guess thats why alot of guys swap to drum in the rear with bogarts...

 

Another issue is hydro boost with ground calipers. The extra pressure can pop them if you leave it too thin. Both me and 00z71 have popped a caliper brake boosting.

 

Swing already!

 

looks like you grinded to much off anyway, then again what do you expect from cast iron?

i milled mine to fit without taking to much off!!

mill fit mill fit mill fit

havent even put my milled ones on yet the ones i ground have served its purpose very well!!

barely got below the ribs

 

God himself couldn't have made this work. After all that grinding, the wheel still didn't fit.

 

i failed to ask which 15" wheel did or were trying to fit? i know theres alot of 15" wheels that are thicker in diameter ( inside ) than bogarts

 

These were bogarts.

We ground a bunch on my front calipers to fit my fronts, but there was still lots of meat left everywhere when we were done. No big deal.

Once we finally got enough ground off the brackets for the rear of this truck, my buddy said there is no way that was safe. So we bet him he couldn't break it with a hammer. He barely swung and this was the result. Even if that would have worked, there was no way a caliper was fitting in there. He ended up swapping to drums so they would fit.

 

can 15's clear drums with no problem? What all is needed for the swap?

 

15's clear drums on the 05-07 classic with no issues. I can't speak for the newer models.

My buddy just bought a complete rear and swapped all the parts over to his rear end. Axles and drums. Said it took about 3 hours from start to finish. We ground for 5+ hours and the end result was the video above.
