Yes, you are right. I need them on the BH. But actual i just need Discs/Rotor in 300×34mm with a Boltpattern of 8x6.5. I have 8000lbs Dexter axles with hubs and Hispec 17.5" Rims with 225/75R17.5 Michelins. It has air suspension. It will get Wabco Maxx 17 calipers with tristop cylinders and...

I'm looking around to find a manufacturer with raw discs without a boltpattern. But with the allowance of the BAM and STVZO, our governmental instances for vehicle parts. Every brake part is a high safety part and must have this surveys. Thought in the USA would exist a matching Disc. Wabco...

Thats the effective Problem here in germany. The direct power to run the brakes must be come from the TV. The compressor build in the trailer is not legal. But othercountries, other rules. But my problem is still to find Discs with 330x34mm with a boltpattern of 8x6.5

The BH will get a System similar to the TA8242. 4S/2M ABS with brakevalve for airrides. A bigger airtank to supply the brakes and the air suspension. The F350 has a 2.5KW compressor with an airtank to supply the brakes of the trailer and the airride in the F350. At least i will have 3 trailer...

Maybe i have an idea. The bracket can be custom made. And i found a airbrake caliper that can be build in without cutting into the frame. The Wabco Maxx 17. What i now need is a 13x1.34 inch Disc with a 8x6.5 inch Boltpattern. I found many 13inch discs but noone tell me the thickness of the...

It doesn't matter how good the brakes are. The brakes have to full fill the rules. The BH is too heavy to drive without ABS/Antilock and is too heavy to have brakes with brakefluides. Vehicles of any kind with more than 7716lbs must have airpowered brakes and over 11000lbs it must have the...

Hi together Someone maybe remember me on my last thread about a towing vehicle. Now i'm back in germany with my combination. F350 SC SB and BH 3755FL. It was quiet a hard fight to get the combination on the streets in germany. But I almost make it. The F350 is street legal now. It has yellow...

Hi everybody I was looking around for brake conversion components. Not easy to decide. Dexter, Carlisle, Titan, Kodiak, etc. And i also see the DirecLink system by Tuson. Interesting. EoH Brakes with ABS. www.direclink.com Noone of us would buy a vehicle without antilock brakes. Why not having...

I think, you are right, i should move around and seek for matching offers. TV and FW. And than look for a good garage to build in the Airliftkit. BTW. Every part, OEM or aftermarket, in europe which has influence on the vehicle's security, even a windscreenwhiper, must be tested for security...

Sorry wrong word. They call it hub ring for hub centric fitment. Included in the wheel installation package, with vehicle specific nuts or logs. We have a proverb in Europe. "Every mistake in the world is already done, don't need to repeat it, just ask" Thats why i ask much. If i finish all...

Ah, okay. Thought the Assassins are good. They came with a vehicle specific centration ring. Okay i should keep the Ford rims.

The last thing i want is a bouncing rear. Is not one function of a air suspension to make the ride smoother when no load is in the TV and level the vehicle when its loaded? I ask for the rims because its one point of what i talked about with Gray and the original Ford rims are not the best...

Hi everybody The rearaxle should get an additional airbag kit to adjust the loadlevel etc. What is better? Installing a additional airbag kit or build in a full 4-link rear air suspension? I read many about the additional airbag kits and their behavior. Often you read about a pogo stick...

Okay, direct question. F350 RegCab LongBox: 11500lbs GVWR, 4430lbs Payload (-options), 16300lbs Towrating, GCWR 23500lbs, 6000lbs frontaxle, 7000lbs rearaxle. Silverado RegCab LongBox: 11400lbs GVWR, 4500lbs Payload (-options), 17500lbs Towrating, GCWR 24500lbs, 5200lbs frontaxle, 7050lbs...

Maybe my english is so bad, that i can't articulate what i mean. Importing a car/truck to the USA that is not sold here is a never ending story. I had a VW Passat Stationwagon with a 170HP TDI engine. No chance to get a registration here, because it could never do the emmisionssurvey here. (it...
