I got a kit from Blackbirds Custom, kit was very easy to put on and looks good too. I pulled the rear end to paint it and weld up some things on it.. Here are some pics.

**lolife99** · 12-20-2008, 10:04 PM

What kind of price on the kit?
It looks nice!

Nolowrider · 12-20-2008, 10:42 PM

Looks great. Nice work. Maybe Santa will bring me a kit, but I doubt it.

chevyrestoguy · 12-20-2008, 11:57 PM

How much does that kit add to the total rear end width, end-to-end?

1984 swb chevy · 12-21-2008, 12:13 AM

Nice kit.. I would also like to know how much that cost.

**N2TRUX** · 12-21-2008, 03:28 AM

Nice kit, but no E-brake worries me.

Excellent question, also, are the studs longer to make up for rotor thickness?

tvblazer78 · 12-21-2008, 08:51 AM

It dose not add anything to the total rear end width. This kit with out the e-brake was $400 shipped..

Ken, I did a lot of thinking about the e-brake but I never used mine, pluse with all the air out the cross member is my parking brake.

Thanks,
Trav

HAVA79 · 12-21-2008, 10:30 AM

TV, I have that same kit. You will be very happy with it. I did mine mostly for looks

Very nice looking kit...great price! Was it a direct bolt on, any mods. to make it fit? Thats funny about the air ride "parking brake".

It was a bolt on, no mods to put it on. And I know Ken will like that parking brake thing..

HAVA79, happy that you like it and yes looks are part of mine too..

68c10owner · 12-21-2008, 11:44 AM

LMDGUY · 12-21-2008, 12:00 PM

I just adjust them..

boatpuller, it will help your braking out and I have not got any kind of valve or anything yet. But I did get a new master cylinder and I am going to try it with out the new valve first and see how it dose..

Thanks...

robertspangler · 12-22-2008, 10:16 PM

what did you have to do with the stock brake lines to get them to work.

You just use the stock lines and evrything works with out changing anything, just bend them a little and that's it..

Just bend them so the lines are not in the way of the wheel or tire, just keep them close and out of the way..
