[QUOTE="JEEPKEVIN, post: 648491, member: 13136"] Really appreciate all the info from you guys!! I did a lot of ready on the different types of systems mentioned. I learned a lot!!! Over the weekend the Unlimited Off Road Expo came to Dallas. I think it has been a long running event in Kentucky, first time here. It was a really good chance to talk to vendors and to individuals and race teams that were displaying their vehicles. The most popular system I saw on rigs was hydroboost. Many of the guys I talked to said brakes were no longer an issue for them. If it can hold up to those KOH cars, must be ok for me. So I think this will be the route I go. Price isn't to bad. I have an Oreilly's and NAPA near me so I started punching in vehicles. An early 90's 1 ton K series Chevy pick up or Suburban runs this system with some engines. Plus it was designed for the front calipers I am running. The rear might need a 2lb residual pressure valve or a proportioning valve to fine tune. No big deal. Booster can be had for $175 plus a $30 core charge and the master cylinder for $50 no core. I'm ok with that. Oh the off road show!! Super cool. Big thanks to the guys in the WOD booth. Super helpful, super nice, I bought some parts from them. Show special!! They had one of their chassis on display. pure sex!!! So nice. Compact, great welds, clean, simple, the panels were fitted so nice. Want one of those bad!! Maybe next time. Tom at PSC gave me the run down on pump and reservoir options. Thanks!! I have run their systems on both my prior rigs with no issues. Great product and awesome customer service. The owner of Radflo was there, nice conversation about shocks. Explained un-sprung weights and angles and what he needs to build me a set that is in the ballpark to start with. BJ Allen of Barco Motorsports. He runs a WOD chassis and has a UTV parts biz. Super nice guy and lives the next town over from me. Had some great input on parts and pieces that he likes. Unfortunately their was only a small percentage of hardcore rigs there, but, if you wanted a giant lift and low profile tires on your tow rig they had you covered, plenty of those there. [/QUOTE]
