Has anyone tried them? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 226 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 226 | Mine is in the works and I will report from the mechanic when complete. It was the Hollister and they have been excellent on the communication and concern that I had the correct parts. I also have a one ton and PTO, so the linkage part will be the question. Get the remote Master cyl fill also with the booster and dual master cylinder. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 208 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 208 | Awesome, I too have the 1-ton with a PTO so let me know how it goes. I am to the point I need to start thinking about a Master cylinder and pluming and want to get the correct part the first time around. Right now I have the OEM front drums and rear drum brakes on a 14 Bolt. I'm ok with the rear being drums but wanted to explore the front disk conversion. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 892 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 892 | I'm to the point where I need to replace the front drums because of wear. I've seen several disc conversions but never followed up. I need to now.
