Also,... not included were any rear disc questions, brake booster/mastercylinder questions, or proportioning valve questions.

So,... if a special thread/sticky/area was set up,... would anyone go there and read?
Or would everyone rather ask their specific questions and have people post in their particular thread?

There is a ton of info in the suspension section.
I'm just trying to figure out how to "harness" it all.

Re: Drum to Disc Conversion,...

I think a sticky not above the normal posts but one that stays on top of the normal posts would be more effective. Seems people don't read the other stickies.

I am all for one and think there should be threads on:

1) Disc Brake conversions Front
2) Disc Brake conversions Rear
3) Basic air bag setups - including pics of bagged w/ and w/out C-notch and part numbers of shocks/items used-and links to recommended forum supporting suppliers....
4)Static Drop FAQ--Including pics w/ different setups and the fact that you don't need a C-notch w/ a 6" rear drop

Easier said than done.

Re: Drum to Disc Conversion,...

There is a discussion on this in suspension as well. Its in both places to get valuable input from members. Please look at both http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...55#post4416555 and let us know what you think.

I personally think the FAQ section needs an overhaul (in the works) and that we need folks to help submit the information discussed above. We have the folks who have the knowledge, we just need them to help do some writeups and get it out there
