As for the master cylinder, I used a no limit power brake bracket that uses the Mustang booster and master. I swapped out the regular master for one from an SVO/Cobra.
The install of the front cross member was very straight forward. The Great thing is that you don't have to worry about the geometry or the top hats like a Mustang 2 front end. Just make sure that the frame is straight and square and the cross never is where you want it. I centered the wheels in the wheel well opening on mine. .. a small difference. Two comments about the install/kit. The boxing plates are a bit short, I made longer ones. Second, depending on where you want the motor to sit.... modifying the firewall could be required. .

Thanks for the input. I appreciate the reply.

All I can do is post a pic of how the front sits ( from a few years ago before it spent a few years in paint prison) I only used the front suspension on mine and unfortunately i havent got the truck back together. The wheels are 20in, ohh and the pic was before the top was chopped

Is centering the spindle/wheel in the wheel well just as simple as moving the entire Flat Out crossmember forward?

Yes its that simple. The coilovers are the ones Don from flatout recommended from his options on his website. The tires are 255/35/20. LOL i have a 4 year old daughter that isnt interested at all in the 55.... just the Blazer. So ask em if you got them.
