i have the adapter from sky and the big master.  i am gonna try the master that rockstomper uses with their kit.  the brakes bleed out in the back and i have good pedal throw but once the back bleaders are closed the pedal won't move and i cant get the front brakes to work.

Umm sounds like you have a problem. lol You have disc all around? If so do you have a prop. valve for the rear? (I'm too lazy to go back a couple pages) I'm sure you understand the concept of needing to turn the rears down when you go from drum to disc because of the pressure build up/lag time the drums need verse a disc setup.

ya i have a prop valve for the rears, and disc out back.  i was told i need to get a mc that is a disc/disc mc instead if the disc/drum one i have.


the truck is 88 outside with the 3" backspaced wheels.  when i get new tires i will get 16.5 or 17 so i can get 4.5" backspacing on the rims.

Hmm Yea that would be the right way to do it. Thats wierd that it's giving you trouble.
