Tom Prior covered some of the issues wall. I wouldn't touch a line lock with that 10 ft pole. We make many changes to our GMC's. And we need to adhere to basic SAE standards when making changes. Suspention geometry, and braking components. Are key parts of vehicle dynamics. Yes. We put Quad Bags on, True track, reaction arms, and rear disc brakes. These items don't change the basic geometry of the systems that fallow standard SAE guidelines. The line lock creates a situation. That makes a change to the main braking system. That GM produced. And doesn't fit into standard modern SAE approved situations.
Yes. I'm looking into a different park brake system. But I'm not doing 70 on a public highway.
The 1 ton kit. And the front rim spacers. Also don't fallow any SAE standards. Or would ever be approved. Because it is violating SAE standard guidelines. Vehicle dynamics is huge for me. On road race tracks around the country. And on the street. My 4 COPO Yenkos that I have. Are valued between $220,000. To $330,000 each. I need to have other vehicles around me/them. On public streets. Or on the track. In compliance to SAE standards. For the pure safety of driving.
Just my 2 cents. Need to go back to my hole. Sorry.
