FINALLY...but have a question

[Crush]

boxrodz -
The SSBC setup has been a journey. When I initially ordered the whole setup I SPECIFICALLY asked if any other modifications would be needed (since I hadn't ordered my wheels yet) and was told that as long as the wheels were 17's or bigger then "no problems". So I got everything in and put everything on and "clink"...wheel "face" hits the caliper... I call SSBC and they tell me that different wheels fit different ways...blahblahblah...and basically I'll either need to order the wheels with thicker hubs to compinsate for the difference or run a spacer... So I call Chris at Boyds and talk to him about re-hooping the front wheels....$250 a wheel plus shipping.... NO THANKS! Sooo I sent the truck on to the paint shop and really just haven't messed with the brakes until last week. I was cleaning up the garage and saw the calipers just sitting up on the shelf. Took them down, mounted them up and took some measurements and figured that a 1/4" spacer wouldn't be quite enough but a 1/2" would probably work. Went up to NAPA and saw they had the 5/16" spacers so I got them and took them home.....taaa-daaa, they worked.

I'm running a simple 5/16" aluminum spacer for now. I am hoping to have a set of billet ones made in the near future, but need to find someone that will do it.

Other than that one issue...the SSBC setup is VERY nice.

N2TRUX - I know I know.....unfortunately the wife "lost" my digital when we were down in the Keys...I'll try to bum one from the neighbor this week. (Plus I kinda need to clean up the wheels and calipers (they USED to be polished ) for the pics).
