It's been red for at least a couple of weeks now. Now I'm the only one that doesn't paint.GSequoia said:

that brake kit looks good. How do they perform? and were they worth it?

Nice job on the brakes Stephan... keep us updated on how it performs... I kinda wish I went that route vs the WJ swap..

There is improvement from stock, but they still need at least a couple hundred miles to bed in completely. It should just get better with time. Stephan will probably chime in here shortly.

I just want to say a big THANK YOU to Doug and Kyung for the help riday night and Saturday.
Things accomplished:
The brakes are a definite improvement, but as Kyung said the final verdict is still out. We'll see how they bed in. The swap is super easy. No harder than swaping out a set of knuckles.
One problem I discovered Saturday evening is that the bolt holding the track bar on the axle end is seized into the metal sleeve inside the rubber bushing. I was going to replace the heim joint on the frame rail side but that is seized also:flamemad: So as of right now I can't remove the track bar w/o some surgery.
Things accomplished:
Replaced Ball Joints
Installed Vanco Disc Brake Kit
Relocated front brake lines
Installed front bumpstops (Thanks Ron)
