POR-15 is about as good as it gets. If you don't have enough, get some more.

Hey Hambone, I was just catching up on your swap. As you know on my swap, I upgraded to disc's in the back. I kept the stock master cylinder. All I did was installed this part:

Wilwood 260-11179 Proportioning Valve : Amazon.com : Automotive Wilwood 260-11179 Proportioning Valve : Amazon.com : Automotive

After some test runs and adjusting, The truck brakes great.

That part looks like it work great.

I kept the master cylinder off of the. 2500. It's sitting on my bench. I was just planning on installing that.

If that doesn't work for whatever reason I will be messaging you to find out about your setup!

While your box is off would be a good time to ditch the spare tire carrier unless you use it or already have(hard to see for sure in your pics).

When I was installing my body lift, I took the box off and I sandblasted and painted my entire frame, bottom of cab and box. It's definitely worth it.
