I have read a good bit about people running the 315 on a 12" wheel. That's why I am considering running the 295 when I get my 15's. However, there are lots of guys getting it done with 315 on a 10" wheel. Yours look great installed.

If you can't get the cables off the backing plate, just disconnect them from the y-bracket coming from the pedal and pull them out.

So you are getting fluid at the end of the hard line at the wheel or at the y-block? Have you tried disconnecting the banjo and see if you are getting fluid thru the flex line?

 

Im getting fluid out of the end of the hardline. I didnt remove the banjo because the copper washers are toast and have to be replaced if you remove them. I did have to bend the line a bit with the russell ss line but it was very minimal. Im going to pump the brake tomorrow and get some more pressure through it. Im wondering if theres a block inside the caliper.

As far as the tires go, the 295s would be a better fit on 15x10s.

 

Is the bleeder screw on your caliper pointing up or down?

Also, it's not uncommon for rubber brake hoses to swell internally or develop a flap inside that impedes brake fluid flow. You may need to replace your old hoses, they don't last forever, even when they look okay on the outside.

 

The bleeder screw is up obviously. Ive switched to russelk ss lines. Theyre brand new.

 

Your calipers didin't come with new copper washers for the banjo?

You will want to remove the parking brake cables anyway from the truck so I would just loosen the bracket that holds them to the single brake line coming from the parking brake pedal and remove them there.

 

Done. Tucking 315s on 15s.

The problem was an internal clog on the caliper. I got another caliper from Advance and got fluid out of the bleeder as normal.

 

^holy damn...leg locked up. Also I'm confused...rear was converted to 5 lug?

 

Yes, i converted it to 5 lug.

I want to do 5 lug 15s on the front too but i dont know if they will fit with the 05+ brakes i put on recently. I may have to go back to the 99-02 brakes

 

awesome, looks great So how close did the 7.25 bs put you to the leaf. What drop is that in the back.

 

Its very close to the leaf. 6" rear drop. I would recommend anyone doing this swap to get the 295 tires at most. The 315s are very big on the 15x10s and would be better suited to a 15x12 or so.
