Yeah i know what you mean, i would of loved to of kept the low rider. It was a fun truck to drive, but my wife says i could only have one truck. I would love to have a low rider, 4x4 K5, and 4x4 suburban. A guy could dream.

How bad is it to bleed rear brakes and are you running a porpotioning valve?[/QUOTE]

I'm running a proportioning valve, the real calipers just didn't want to loose all the air bubbles. I had to end up bleeding the breaks with a vacuum bleeder, old school pumping and finally a pressure bleeder to get the rear mushiness out.
