It's good to see support for the 3/4 ton and 1 ton guys is coming along.

3100 kits are all over the place and fairly cheap it would have been nice to get a set and be done with it but our problem was the calipers were to small for a 8800 GVW truck so we couldn't use F body or even C10 or C20 calipers we needed the late model 2500 and up dual piston calipers which are a lot bigger and rated at 8600 GVW. With this bracket its going to be a bolt on kit it just needs some refining in order for it to be a kit that's not to costly.
