    Tell me more about your caliper adapters and high steer arms. Interested in them for my axletech axles.

    Black Rock Fab makes them. They use an '05 Dodge 2500 caliper. The rotor has to be turned down to 15". He also makes a bracket to use F750 calipers, but I didn't want to use the huge master cylinder required for those.

    The high steer arm is just a pass arm for a crossover steering. It is the appropriate length for my '12 Ram 3500 steering gear I am going to use. It will be tapered for a Chevy draglink end.

    Nice seeing you building another M715. I really miss mine -last seen at an exotic car dealership in Miami.

    I watched your build on Pirate of your MB. I am amazed how fast you are from one build to the next. It takes me a couple hours just to figure out how I want to do the next step.

    Anyway, I look forward to your build.

    I can't help but plot out 3 projects ahead. Usually I have the entire vehicle sorted out in my head before I begin. It helps me keep from excessive spending, or maybe it creates it... Hmm

    I designed on Autocad some spring perches and spring plates to make the Axletechs a bolt in deal to my M715 with out doing a shackle flip. Black Rock Fab has my drawings and will be making them for me.

    I am not sure how well the springs will do with the tall perches or how long the rear leaf spring studs will last with the weight of the Axletechs...
