FOr those that don't know ... both those trucks are on 33s. Both of us have about the same bumper height & rocker clearance (mines a little higher) but look how much higher his roof is

The yoke drilling was much like most of Patrick and I's drilling adventures, drill out, get some what satisfied, option A try easy out, never works as usual or breaks off, I got it all the way drilled out and started a tap in the yoke when it broke!....hum sound familar, 2 hrs later and lost of cursing swearing etc etc, I buy a cobalt bit, about another 2 hrs i won the battled, had to use lots of sneaky tricks, never drilled through the titanium of the tap I broke off in it, just kept cracking chunks of it out, wish i had a digital to show the mess it made....
drilled them through and through 5 /16's and then used 4 grade 5 ...5/16th bolts lock washers and nuts, had to grind a little yoke to clearence the nuts, also noticed it was much easier to bleed the brakes when I swapped the calipers side to side, never thought about right and left until I laid under my truck yesterday in frustration checking things out, today i swapped them side to side, now our custom lines need some sort of new magic worked on them
I also primed and painted all of the fresh welds and the grinded yoke, removed front shocks and reblead brakes and all....let me tell you, i have stopping power, and doesn't seem so far that I will need a external proportioning valve, it stops much better than stock brakes and 31's...
Thanks for all the help again, I still got some bugs to work out but it was nice to drive again tonight
