What size tubing did you settle on? I recall that the tubing sizes were sort of limited in 3.25" OD?

here are the hubs,caliper brakets/backing plates. the rotors arn't done yet. (i should be done cross drilling them by this weekend. also trying to find a 1/2 inch stud to replace the factory 7/16 one.
also need to deside if i want to use front calipers from a chevy truck or cadilac eldorado rear calipers due to they have a built in e-brake. if i use the chevy truck front ones, then i need to put a parking brake on the transfer case.....

The large style Eldo ones are hard to find, and my Caddy parking brake calipers are nothing to brag about. Though in fairness, the parking lever needs to pull more cable to make the mechanism rachet properly.
