    Update and ? Steal Aluminum and Minnesota salt dont mix

    Helicoils only work in softer materials (alum. is okay) but any harder materials (hardened steel and especially stainless) helicoils will not hold up. One was used in my brake caliper, it failed and wrapped the caliper around my axle with the only thing keeping it from ripping off completely was...

    Differential cover/skid plates

    It probably does hang lower than some of the others, but I like that it is a full cover plate. The belly plate is a lot different than the other xfer case plate Slee makes.

    Is this an oem master cylinder?

    Your seal in the booster is probably leaking like mine was. I would do the same thing, pumping the pedal a few times to build up pressure. There was no fsm test I did, it was just the last component of the system that I hadn't fixed yet, so the booster was the only piece of the puzzle remaining...

    Is this an oem master cylinder?

    Nope, master cylinder first, didn't fix the problem, then the booster, problem fixed.

    Is this an oem master cylinder?

    I used to have the same slow pedal "mush" too. Booster and master cylinder rebuild fixed it, so feel and power was back. Also, on another subject, I noticed the e-brake was sh*t even after adjusting the line to the lever, then checked my rear brakes with the drum part of the e-brakes and the...

    OME extra HD

    See the photo I attached to previous post. No rubbing, but I did put in extended bump stops, which you should consider to avoid over compressing shocks and rubbing.

    OME extra HD

    Double check the brake lines are extended - if they are just rubber then they are stock. What kind of photo are you looking for, just the exterior or close-ups of the springs and brake lines? I don't have any of the close-ups handy, but here's a pic of the exterior where you can see the rear a...

    OME extra HD

    I have the OME 2.5" HD kit and yes, it sticks the ass into the air (more on PS rear). If you want to level the front to rear then you'll need spacers up front. That's a spacer shown in the photo. Didn't your existing 2.5" lift kit come with longer brake lines? If you increase any over...

    Is this an oem master cylinder?

    Rebuilding the booster/master cylinder cured all my braking woes. The OEM system is plenty strong if everything is working properly (boot seals in calipers, clean fluid, etc.). The other thing you can try for more grip/feel is EBC yellow stuff brake pads and drilled/slotted rotors - they work...

    Talk me into fixing it...

    Do the HG dude, FTMFW! BTW, 100's IFS suck ass. Yes, I realize that I used too many acronyms.
