    Is the stock frame-mounted m/c, intended for 9" drums, up to the task of operating 11" drums at all four corners? I'm swapping in a mid-70's open knuckle D30 front axle that already has 11" drums, so I know I'll need to do some creative plumbing as it stands compared to the stock D25 setup. Just wondering if I need to look into a new m/c right away or not? Thanks!

    Welcome from SW OR! I've had 11's on mine for thirty years, stock M/C. No prob! I also run puny stock tires, but I'm sure in most cases you'll be fine.

    I'll know in a day or two...swapping in axles with 11" drum on them, but have stock M/C yet.

    Sounds good! I'll save the m/c swap for later to go along with the engine/tranny swap...
