Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
Gvizzle,
My rear axle is still not mounted yet, waiting on my drop arms, but there are quite a few pictures in my top siggy linky below. Luv

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
Finished installing my McGaughy's big 13" Front kit this weekend. The parts in the kit where good quality and went together with no problems. The kit was all bolt on but i had to move my brake lines from the front of the cross member to the back(had to remove & reweld brackets). My kit did not come with directions, part list or discription of expendable parts like pads and rotors. I would reuse McGauphy's.

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
Man that's a good looking conversion and a great price. I would still like "specific" details on how the rear can be done.

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
I used the front kit. Like others said, on 73-87 trucks the factory brake line routing hole through the frame is in front of the crossmember, and the rubber air line they supply you with is way to short to reach there. I took pics and sent them to Mcgaughys, and they basically played dumb and said my truck was the first one they had seen where the factory brake line was not routed behind the crossmember, so I just ordered up some stainless lines to us. the kit definitely looks great though. I have a pic here, but have not been on this site in a year, and can not remember how to post it.

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
Are those grade 5 bolts with metric 8.8 on the calipers? Why not go for grade 8 and 10.9 flange bolts? Might be a bit more but worth piece of mind.

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
Is there a reason you use McGaughys spindles? Would DJM work as well?

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
Hey Nate, did you ever have a chance to measure the replacement hub diameters at the base and the top (nearest the grease cap) and the overall height of the "snout" of the hub?
Thanks, Ed |

Will this work? Sorry about the quality of the picture and I forgot to get the width of the hub. Good luck Dillon D |

Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit
Guys
In the first picture i did beat the dust covers in. second picture shows how you will need the move the brake line to the back side of the drop member. Hope this helps Dillon |
