So yesterday and today I mounted the other slider, made the cable disconnects, installed the new brake lines, and changed the oil. When I bled the brakes, both calipers were full of water. The fluid was black, you couldn't even see through it. It stops so much better now.
I flexed it out but I couldn't find anywhere to get it high enough so the rear tire would come up. Still, at that height, no rub and plenty of room. I'm very happy with the way it turned out.
rear line was a little long so I used a spring to hold it up and out of the way.
And finally, all ready for RCROCK. As she sits now:

This weekend I finished up my one ton steering. I ended up having to make a bracket to put on a steering stabilizer since I was getting pretty bad death wobble. Steers like a dream now though.

The track bar and bracket are new. I noticed when I was mounting the bracket that the track bar bracket would move slightly under a turning load. I moved one bolt maybe 1/4 turn. The movement stopped and at this point I had the stabilizer on so I didn't get to test it with or without the stabilizer.
Would a very slight movement (less then 1/8") cause DW?I don't always drink orange juice, but when I do, I prefer to chew it. #madpulp
