    My version of rear sway bar, whatcha think?

    Here is this weekends finished result. I know I got paint on my shocks was kind of hurrying towards the end...I beat the snow! Sway bar came from 03 avalanche and the links. Axle mounts were cut off 98 tahoe, the rest was custom built. Took me a few days but it's done and it's on rails compared...

    Bump stop gap on the rear

    Picked up a 2000 z71 obs tahoe knowingly with broken leafs (2 of the four, first below the main and the one below that with the clamps). I'm pretty sure it happened due to hyper flexing as the bump stops are absent. The cheapest replacements I can find are Dorman ones on Amazon for 39 dollars...

    Has anyone thought of custom machining a brake mouting flange?

    I would weld it, and you wouldn't cut the tube...you'd simply cut the welds off the existing bracket and remove.

    Has anyone thought of custom machining a brake mouting flange?

    Exactly! Make a custom flange that has the 11" bolt pattern with the c/k truck tube diameter and like you said cut and weld to the needed measurements to accommodate the wider 11" pads, simple math or measure an existing set up say from a hoe or burba all we need is a machinist to make them, I'm...

    Has anyone thought of custom machining a brake mouting flange?

    So I'm gonna reopen the dismal subject of the dreaded 10" brakes...with a fresh spin...h Get it brakes....spin...sorry. I know the 10 and 11" brakes are different in many ways including the mounting flange. I know it's been discussed that suv (possible 11" donor) is a different diameter tube...
