Was truly not bad. Could be done in a weekend or even a day with some friends. I did not want to rush, so been doing it here and there. Sometimes with a friend or 2.
Here is a pic of the Brake kit.

Got the bed back on this weekend. Still got to do the emergency brake cable. Had to order a longer one, will be here soon. Also got to do the Proportioning valve. Have it just haven't done it yet. Just sucks, it all gets covered up by the Bed.

I had forgotten, before all the suspension work i had also done a almost complete LED exterior conversion. They are fully sequential all around. Only thing not done is the headlights.
Also the Steering Wheel too.

Got 95% of the front all tore off. What is left is the Rivets for the Upper A-Arm supports, Then the install starts.
My metal pile is growing though. If anyone needs something, let me know. All is in good shape!
