Hey Jolene, thanks for the info and pics and stuff. BTW nice setup you created there!! I'm using my manual toploader so I'm probably leaning toward that Wilwood tandem setup, 3 m/c's ( front brake calipers, rear brake drums, and hydraulic clutch). I'm thinkin I need 3 individuals. The fronts are 4 piston Aerospace calipers (non vented rotors), rear drums are Level 2 10" (13/16"cyl. bore), and the clutch. Kinda takes all the guess work out of the mix!
I really like your strut mounts and have a couple of Q's regarding them. I won't be off road so is it advisable to mechanically connect the 2 towers to each other for rigidity and what caster degree and camber degree did you choose? Thanks,Jack

i mounted the shocks so that they are perpendicular to the I-beam center line and radius arm center line when the suspension is fully compressed.
if your shock towers are as high as your master cylinder i would definitely advise connecting the two with a cross member regardless of application. thats alot of twisting force on the frame with a shock way up there.
knuckle caster is about 10* at ride height and about -1 ish camber at ride height

Agreed. I didn't realize you were on a TIB suspension. That explains the camber. I installed the fox body K member which gives me 15-16* camber and I set the caster at 10*
