Explain please. Because I am planning on running the 14b disk conversion, and I will also be doing a line lock for front digs. Since you say the Caddy Calipers E-brake wont hold, why is the line lock a bad idea?

im not saying its a bad idea

when i think of emergency brake i think of something you use in an emergency

like when you lose your service brakes. lose your service brakes also lose your line lock.

if it was me i would get some discs on there that run a parking brake drum. not sure what kits are available though.

caddy calipers e-brake did work, but was pretty useless with 35+" tires

love em otherwise

Mike was looking for an e-brake as more of a parking brake.

also need to figure out something for my rear bumpstops, and still order my rear brakes. Kinda pissed but gonna lose my Ebrake, talked to sam and the caddilac eldorado calipers suck balls and really will only hold me on a very small incline.

He told me to look into disc brakes with mini drums that work as ebrakes, id have to do some research, but for now Ill just do the disc conversion with the monte carlo calipers, and deal with not having an ebrake for the time being. It will also save me about 150 bucks.

[BlacXJeep]

there are some threads floating around somewhere about it

[Mike]

yeah i ditched the rear sway bar but the mounts are still on the spring plates.

Did not know that, ill have to check it out, thanks for that info !
