Thank you so much, I shall do that then. You just hopefully saved me a lot of hassle, bro. Appreciated!!

Keep us posted, let me know if you have questions. They are working on this kit, but 71 - 73 Jeep Dana 60 axles have a bastard brake set up cause the frame is wide putting the spring pads out were the brakes should be. Hang in there.

Cool, I sent him what you said (since it'll be fresh in his mind) and a pic of how it sits, and will wait and see how it turns out. Thanks man.

I'm not thrilled about touching that flange, but at this point gotta gitterdun. If you could snap a pic of how yours turned out, that'd be awesome. Thanks for posting up.

I will get a picture in the next day or two. I would get a 1/2'' center punch and use you bracket as a template to drill the holes. If you do not re drill you will not get the caliper pin out unless it not in a 71-73 J truck. Then the spring is back far enough to get the pins in. When you call tell him my name, Billy Murdock with the Jeep truck just to help him remember. They are very nice, and easy to work with.

Thanks! I'll try that...I have them clocked way back now which isn't optimal but isn't bad. I have stock springs in stock location. Hope it works out, fingers crossed.

hey man i feel your pain, i just spent all day installing rear discs on my camaro. my kit uses ford thunderbird calipers (ford parts, i should have know it wasn't going to go well). well the way the kit works the bleeder screw points down. so to make it possible to bleed they put a bleeder screw in the banjo bolt. and no supprise i couldn't get them to bleed. so after spending way to mutch time messing with it i decided to switch everything around, right side on the left and left on the right. this way the bleeder screw was pointing up. i could do this because i have a four link and not the stagerd shocks. shure enough problem solved. anyway i guess we get to learn that nothing is a "bolt on" kit. so sorry for the hyjack/rant, hope you get everything working right.

Nope, trust me, I understand. Staying calm, trying to figure it out, then asking for help never hurts if you can do it.

Cool, I hope this is good news on the Dodge brackets.

[Gambler68]

Vendor and I are working this out right now.

[Jeep madness]

Heres a few pictures. It will work out fine, your on the right track now.

Would love to do this to mine one day.

I just wanted to point out that I clearanced my calipers so I could run 15'' rims. That is why the caliper and rotor look so big, they fill up the inside of the 15'' rim. I also put Caddy e-brake calipers, and that is why there are levers on the back. I still need to hook the e-brake up.

Awesome! I'm running 16.5 so maybe I'll get lucky and have them higher. Thank you for the pics! He's checking with his guy, but looks like I'll be getting the right seals and the dodge style brackets sent out to me...and this thread can end with a happy ending.
