ben shadys truck

Okay, that makes sense, I've seen that done before on Wheelers. I could not make it out from the picture. You might want to add a grease zerk fitting to the 2" tube so you can grease it between the tubes from time to time to keep it moving freely.

No it's 1/4" wall DOM.

It's got a zerk in it.. it's on the underside just can't see it in the pic's...

just wondern if ben mofkn shady go ever update w/ the truck...lol richie get control arms..done???

Its a piece of decroded crap so who cares if he updates it?

just a side note... 4 ya but ur good bout doing ur home work, Im pretty sure you will have to put a inline proportining valve in since you did a disc brake swap!!!! I still not a 100% sure if my mind serves correct but seems like we swap on my monte carlo and had to put one in... it maybe something you want to check on!!!

I'd get it out on the road & see how it stops before putting an adjustable proportioning valve in. I put disc brakes on the rear of my 1/2 ton Suburban & did not need a proportioning, the truck was so ass end heavy it would stop just like it was supposed too without locking up the rears before the fronts, even in the rain.

Someone's seen Napoleon Dynamite too many times.....lol
