What trouble are you having? I completed mine with El Dorado calipers and they work wonderfully. Truck stops really hard for a 6k lb truck. I put a new, stock master cylinder in mine. Tires will lock up, but only when I get to the last 1/8th of pedal travel. I also bypassed the ABS module because it was junk. Hopefully you get it figured out.

This is an amazing right up. Going to do this on my 91 for sure.

I had used the 77 K20 front brake hoses to ensure the brake line would not crack. If I remember correctly I think the caliper moves, too.
