I used the front kit. Like others said, on 73-87 trucks the factory brake line routing hole through the frame is in front of the crossmember, and the rubber air line they supply you with is way to short to reach there. I took pics and sent them to Mcgaughys, and they basically played dumb and said my truck was the first one they had seen where the factory brake line was not routed behind the crossmember, so I just ordered up some stainless lines to us. the kit definitely looks great though. I have a pic here, but have not been on this site in a year, and can not remember how to post it.
