Re: Boss 338 wheels-anyone here got em?

Night and day difference. Before it looked like a clean truck. Now it looks like a "Sport Touring" truck. Tell us about the brakes. Do you like them? What did the install entail?

Re: Boss 338 wheels-anyone here got em?

The brake kit included everything from new drop spindles, cross drilled rotors, braided lines, brake pads, bearings and banjo bolts. Everything went on with ease. The pedal has a little more travel than it did before, but still being easy on the new pads and rotors. I hope once they are mated up, it will be great. The pedal has more travel, but does stop great. We are looking into rear conversion too. However, other rear brake conv I have done have been on off road vehicles and I have gone through the ringer with prop valves, master cylinders etc. I hope some of what I have learned will come in handy. Thanks for the commments. Very happy with the results.

Forum member niped has installed the rear as well as the front. You might want to look him up and pick his brain. You do have to turn the axle flange down to make it fit, but it seems to be pretty straight forward beyond that.
