    when your trying to figure out limit strap lengths do you measure the actual strap or is it measured hole to hole? thanks

    Here is how I replaced my LSPV

    The red #1 fittings are the lines going to the rear brakes from the master cylinder

    The yellow #2 fitting is the return line from the stock proportioning valve, excess pressure is diverted to the front brakes

    The green #3 fitting is the line going to the left front brake from the master cylinder

    The blue #4 fitting is from the junction of the rear brake return and the incoming front brake line from the master cylinder, and goes to the fitting just under the inner a-arm pivot to the left front brake

    Now your going to completely remove lines #4 and #2 and discard. Your going to take line #3 and connect to the fitting under the arm that line #4 used to connect to

    [​IMG]

    The rear is very easy. As said your are discarding line #2. You then take the stock LSPV and discard it. That leaves line #1 to connect directly to the rear brake line coming off the axle

    [​IMG]

    Then under the hood your going to connect the Wilwood proportioning valve in between the master cylinder and other end of line #1. I did have to remove the two bolts that hold the master cylinder and slide it forward and completely close the proportioning valve to get the valve to be able to clear when you spin it around to tighten on to the master cylinder

    [​IMG]

    The brake lines did have to be bent around quite a bit but if you use your hands and make sure you dont make all of the bend in one spot it will be fine. Just make a slight bend, slide down the line a little and bend more, slide, bend etc. Thats all you have to do and all of the parts needed are right here

    I'll see if anyone can chime in in here. I have a question about a rear mid travel setup. I was thinking about getting some deavers but i was reading on ttora and someone had the all pro 5'' lift springs and did sua so he really only had about 3'' of lift. Would going with the all pros and doing sua with them be a good setup? I've never heard of anyone else doing that. Just thinking about different setups

    personally I think if your going with a SUA then stick with the kits being manufactured specifically for the or at least getting springs designed for that purpose. DMZ, Defined Engineering make SUA kits and Deaver makes a universal pack for such purposes.

    More travel? I'm a noob to rear setups haha just seeing it it'd even work.
    ya that makes sense. I'll keep searching! Any difference in deavers vs the standard all pros?

    first thing that I would imagine is spring rate. I really dont know off-hand without calling around and doing some more in depth research. I ordered a Defined Kit with the idea that its been set-up for SUA, its been run, proven, and as "bolt on" as you can get for a SUA conversion.

    im sure someone has more in depth regarding this
