looks great bro. Nice job on the axle swap.

Got the passenger caliper so I can finally bleed my brakes. Just pre filling the caliper before attaching the line and my brakes already feel better than they did when I got the burb.
Also got the replacement studs on the adapter today, took some measurements and ordered a pair of Bilstein 5125s for the front with 11" of travel.

I'm not liking the angle of the drag link using the factory Ford steering.

Time to drop $500+ on crossover steering.

Make you own.

The knuckle is the issue as it's a ball joint axle. I can buy a knuckle alone for ~$480 plus shipping, or I can buy a complete kit for $20 more.

I don't have any sort of fabrication tools and I'm trying to get it done asap. If you know of someone that's got crossover knuckles or machined knuckles and arms for a ball joint 99-04 axle in stock and ready to ship for under $350, let me know.

Waiting to be picked up to get the crossover steering done locally.

What pads and rotors would you suggest? Or does any really work? Trucks looking big!

 

[GMC Burbalade]

Don't really have enough experience with different setups to give you a good answer there. I went with drilled and slotted rotors hoping to make up for the lost cooling that come with the H1 wheels, and cheap ceramic pads as I was running out of money.

Crossover steering is done. Drove it home from the shop, and oh man do I love the height.
