brakes pulsating?

its very very slight but enough to annoy me. It doesn't feel as noticeable as warped rotors do (from my experience) unless they are just slightly out of wack. So I'm wondering if it's my ABS acting up. If I wanted to test this could I just pull the fuse for my ABS and drive around to see if...

painted the whole truck using the $50 paint job technique. thought I destroyed it at first but after a 2nd coat and several compliments I love it now! still needs a little bit more work though flat white rustoleum. No gloss :) can't decide if I should stick to my original plan or not I like...

I have a 3 ton floor jack from pepe boys but it doesn't lift high enough. Can I just put a couple bricks underneath it?

Got cocky with the tailgate and decided to do the whole truck using the $50 paint job technique and flat white rustoleum. BTW do a ton of research before you do this, and take weather factors into account and allow time to dry between coats, etc. also use a sprayer if you have one it'll make...
