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...

Of course a 3500er is needed. I'm not looking for a unsafe TV in cause of overloading it. But i don't want to buy a completly oversized TV just to keep every figure of the FW overcompensated. Example. I need ~4000lbs payload for the hitch and persons. Of course i could buy a DRW with > 6000lbs...

What is the difference between the Silverado 3500HD and the Sierra 3500HD? Only the nose?

If you know a lighter FW with front living room, please tell me.

The Ford has only 23500lbs GCWR. ~24000lbs are needed or i must drop some pounds of my body :D The Silverado/Sierra are short on Payload. Would make it sense to build in a additional rear airsuspension? Or even a 4-link airride?

Tundra, you are right. Thats exactly what i'm looking for. I know the figures. FW GVWR 16000lbs, real hitchrating 3000-3500lbs, my wife and me and some small stuff ~500lbs. So I need a truck with 16000lbs FW towrating, 4000lbs payload and a GCWR of curbweight + 16000lbs + 500lbs persons and...

Okay, one more time, again. I'm not searchig for the smallest truck like a 1500er. I'm seaching for the smallest and lightest MATCHING truck for the Bighorn. If it must be a F350 Dually Long Box Diesel, okay. If it have to be a 4500er. Even okay. I dont spend money for upgrading brakes and...

Okay, GVWR around 11500lbs. The F350 has the highest Payload so it must have the lowest curbweight. And the F350 is the only 3500er with a extended cab, so it must be the shortest. And it leaves ~700lbs payload with FW. Enough for 2 Persons and some bags. Okay, 400lbs with me inside :D The...

I think, i don't ask right. I don't want to tow it with a not matching truck. I know it must be a 3500er with a Diesel engine. No other trucks have the payload and the tow rating. I don't pay money for brake converson on the FW and than I buy a too small TV and overload it and risk my life. I'm...

My Company have rented a "What car we would ever give you" Package at the rental station. And they gave me the choice between a really small car, a Chevy Matiz i believe, or the 3500HD Silverado CC Long Box. We take the Silverado because i don't fit into a Matiz. On some Parking Lots and some...

We both want a FW with a front livingroom. And not many FW have a matching floorplan. Normally Reg Cab would fit us also. But maybe we have 2 friends with us, so we would need 2 additional seats. Or for her handbag. But for the normal life a smaller car is better. For a really short time, when...

We are planning to buy a used Bighorn 3755FL or 3855FL. So we also need a new TV for this FW. But it would be also our dailydriver. And our Garage is not the biggest one. So buying a Ram 3500 Cummins Crewcab Longbox Dually would fit the Bighorn great, but not our garage and life. What we need...
