2wd Dually to 4x4

[SebastIDIan]

To those that have done it in the past, what did you use for shock mounts and brake lines?
Will blinsteins 5100 work with a 2" RSK?
Looking at my donor truck I'm not sure the shock mounts will bolt to the 2wd frame

Also, where can I find longer brake lines?

Much thanks.

Subscribing because I'll hopefully be doing the same thing. Take pictures for me lol!

It all bolts on. Gotta drill the holes. Grind the rivots off and get rid of the coil buckets

did you ever do a write up on yours?

 

[Dieselcrawler]

I did. But all the photos went blank. I recently found them hidden, one day when I get an hour or so to redo the tech article with photos again I will do it.

Get the rail to here. Don’t worry about the shock location until axle is mounted. Shock location will be obvious. Then drill and bolt on the mount

Is there any change in where the rubber hose mounts? I was thinking the 2wd mounts to the coil bucket but I don't remember for sure.

Yes there is a specific little mount just for the brake line. Held on with one little 6mm bolt. Lol

Also it’s the little parts like the line mounts which are the reason I tell guys to find a complete donor and don’t get rid of it till the job is done. Little parts that get overlooked add up quickly

I second this haha

As for the brake lines, I just run 4x4 f350 lines. Even with my rsk and level kit they still have enough slack

Just gotta get in and get dirty. I can do these swaps in a weekend now. Lol

Still a long way from done but finally bolted the axle on.
Gonna need 4" maybe 5"? blocks to get rid of the bro lean.
Sky sent me the wrong pitman arm so I threw the one off the parts truck to get it out of my driveway. I'm also not very happy with the shackle angle hope SD springs will fix that, otherwise I'll go with customsprings.com

Also my neighbor offered me a "rebuilt" GearVendors and a bunch of driveshafts supposedly for a CCLB 4x4 ZF5 for $500 but he doesn't have the controller for it. Smash or pass?
