My rig shakes when I apply brakes, what did you do to remedy? Turn the brake drums down? Can you explain?

I went through the brakes as soon as I got the truck and replaced everything, bearings, seals and pads up front and had the rotors resurfaced and the same for the rear new drums, all new brake hardware, wheel cylinders and steel brake lines and the rubber line on the rear. However I did not cut the new drums and that was the issue, brand new out of the box they both had three high spots and it took 3 passes each to get them right. All is well now.

I also need to finish up the helper bag set up, I picked up 20 bags of mulch last week and was hitting the notch lol.

Interested in how you do the helper bags, they look like ones for a stock truck. I have a set of ride rites on my truck that I want to keep using after I put a 5/7 drop on, but they're not made for a lowered truck. They are over axle right now so I'm trying to think of how I want to mount them, using drop leafs. Great looking truck keep up the good work!

I haven't started yet but soon, going to take it to Ocean City next weekend and will start after that.

Welded up the roof holes from the visor the PO had installed and threw some bondo over them.
