Thanks for the info on the brakes. Is that the touring front dropmember or the mild front? Could you tell me how close the frame rails are to the ground at the front cab mount. I'm only asking cause I ordered the touring front dropmember and Nate said that it should layout the frame rails with my 28" tall front tire and 2.5" drop spindle.

TXPinstriper · 04-01-2013, 10:44 PM

It is the touring drop member....... I have it setup at 5" at the front cab mounts...it will lay out at the front rails about 2-1/2".....

That is some kind of classy! I was curious how the engine vibration isolation is incorporated into those mounts. I imagine there's some rubber or poly in there somewhere I'm missing.
