BINGO!! I agree there.

Nice set up man. That must have cost some coin! Looks good.

Although, BAER is pretty damn close.

Update: Lol. Tranny is blown waiting for ups to come pick it up so PB can rebuilt.
Once it's running the truck is due for a nice detail and some pics to follow

For what?

Did u ever run any 15" rotors; either Baer or did Wilwood ever have a 15" truck rotor kit?

You mean UPS freight (old name Overnite)? Not the brown truck UPS, cause the std. brown limit is 150#.

Reason I say that is my FLT was 175#, that's what Andy @ FLT used when I shipped my old 1 back, according to Dayton Freight. But PB doesn't include bell, so that might do it, but IDK what else is different.

I only ever ran 15" Baer rotors on my crewcab. Wilwood has a 16" truck kit, but I never put them on my truck. I have a Wilwood 16" kit for my wife's burban, uninstalled tho.
