I bought the complete kit from TSM mfg and it is excellent. Much better stopping power! I did not change the proportioning valve and the e-brake cables ended up being a little long after installation so I used some cable clamps and looped them on themselves. Overall very pleased.

I found a rear dana 60 with the TSM brackets already mounted, but I had to find the calipers, e-brake cables, etc. I'm hoping everything works, it's still in the rebuild process. I've posted a picture of the set up in my gallery.

Some say that just upgrading to the Chevy 1 ton brake cylinders does the job, and much less complicated and expensive...
