you may want to be inspecting the brakes and lines before you go dropping all that money.

Ill be doin a skyjacker 6 inch lift.. haven't decided on tire size yet.

Crazzywolfie- I will be replacing all the rear hard lines with new ones. Also be doing any new pads or shoes if needed. I will for sure be doing new hoses, calipers and pads up front just cause its something I usually do with all my new vehicles

might be a bit over kill replacing the calipers unless you can't get the bleeder screws open even though they are cheap. i think one of the big things would be to just get all the old brake fluid replaced with new stuff. i understand all new brake lines. i got all brand new lines for mine but they have not made there way onto the ram charger yet. when i got my 81 i inspected the brakes and discovered whoever did the brakes last put a new caliper on and forgot to bleed it. it was funny. there was more pad left on it than the new pads i bought.

I would talk to this guy. He might have something for you. He gets stuff all the time, and probably has lots that isn't listed on his site.

this is pretty much the solution i used on my 81. just cut the old lines out drilled for 1 size larger and then glued the fuel line 1 size larger on top of of what was there.
