Disc / Drum Applications.
- You need a Dual reservoir master cylinder that is Disc / Drum. If you already have that you may need to change your proportioning brake valve to Disc/Drum.
- If you are running the master cylinder on the frame rails. You will need the above along with 2lb residual valve to the front brakes (generally 2 one for each line) and 1- 10lb to the rear drum brakes.
- When running Disc/Drum we recommend a master cylinder bore size of 1”.
Important Note for Installation
- To verify you are ordering the correct kit, measure your drum backing plate bolt hole spacing center to center on either your spindle/axle housing flange and compare to our spacing diagram.
- Save your original hubs & bearings. Our rotor slips over your stock hubs.

- It will not fit 15" Single Disc Brake Style Wheels or 4x4 front axles.
- Only fits 8 x 6 1/2" Wheel Lug Pattern.

Fitment
* The caliper mounts to the front of the axle (bumper side). This requires the shocks to be moved to the backside. This requires some inner fender modifications to get the shocks to clear.
