That's way nice, was the rear a bolt on setup did it come with everything needed?

It was a full bolt on, running the emergency cable was a bit more work but not bad.

Do you have a link to those rear brake setup. I searched and didn't come up with anything for our trucks.

I see, well thanks anyways. The lmc kit is way expensive. Are you running an aftermarket proportioning valve?

I didn't touch the proportioning valve and I don't have any problems with balance, the 35's challenged the stock vacuum booster but not with the hydroboost.
