I have 100% stock brakes on the front of my truck. Even the pads are original, granted my truck has less than 20k miles on it. They are being fed by a manual master cylinder.......and I've had no trouble stopping yet.....150+mph.

I do have strange brakes in the rear with 4 piston calipers. Not sure how much that helps.

No valve. Just plumb whatever uses the most volume to the rear port.

Well actually I just told her what I wanted, but yeah she knew before you...lol

BTW I'm always searching for new aftermarket parts for our trucks, like right now I'm looking for aftermarket steering column, but haven't had any luck yet...

This is what I would like for future mods and to save some weight off the truck..

Chrome-moly steering column and steering wheel
Chrome-moly lower and upper control arms with-
Coil-Overs (double adjustable)
Chrome-moly spindles to be able to use-
Strange Pro Drag brakes and-
Manuel Steering rack

This list should save up some good weight and sprung weight

Damn Mitch, you just weren't asking the right folks. I've had mine purchased for years.

If I can help with anything, just ask. Sounds like your lost as usual. lol

Madman makes a manual rack bolt in deal. Or you could make your own

Any steering column should work with some fabrication

Strong arms makes control arms.

Only thing I haven't been able to find is spindles. Somebody needs to make something that would allow the use of something like camaro style brakes. TRZ made control arms, spindles and all that for the 88-98 trucks but said there isn't enough interest for our trucks. I'm going to call and see what kind of interest it would take to come up with something. It won't be cheap, but it would be badass

For the manual rack I'll try to make my own IF I get the welder that I want and IF I can weld... lol

The steering column I would try to make it as they sell universal kits, the only thing what would stop me is the chrome-moly material, I would need a tig welder...

The control arms I might send them to Jason @ PA Racing, he told me he can make me some chrome-moly as well as the spindles, you can contact him I'm pretty sure he can make them, I also talk to TRZ but they told me they were real busy and didn't had the space at there shop as I told them I could take my truck to them, but like you said maybe its because of the low interest for our 99-06 trucks...

If you talk to them tell them I'm still interested...lol
