              Well, didn't see this coming... With the disc brake conversion there is minimal clearance. Add emergency brake and there is NO clearance. Man-alive, oh the humanity!!!

                        Next on list. Trying to figure out tie rod and drag link. Looking at GM 1 ton Y link from RuffStuff Specialties. Options are over the knuckle and under the knuckle. Not sure how to determine which one I need. I'll call them Monday...

                              been off the project for 3 weeks (was building a road on my property in Idaho)...

                              Yeah, thought about that. Still really close tolerance. I really don't know how much movement the packs have and how close the parts can ride next to them. I will give your suggestion a go sometime this week.
