Thanks for all the good advice everyone...If I am going to drop the money on drop beams I might as well do the brake swap while Im at it.

Thanks for pointing that out, I will get it taken care of asap....I dont know much about cars and trucks..so I didnt know that the compression fitting is a hazard...Bikes are a bit more my speed but love wrenching on anything and taking in as much information as I can

here are a few bikes that my friends and I have built...







thanks for all the advice!

I've never don't a front disc brake, or, all wheel disc brake conversion that it didn't result in a vast improvement of the vehicles stopping ability. ....and I've done quite a few disc conversions over the years.

My '69 F100 is night and day difference (for the better) with discs on the front now from the way it was with stock drums all the way around.

Drums don't modulate well. Discs do.
