I don’t agree with Ken, no surprise there..... But I don’t agree with you either really. Put enough air in them to keep the ride stabilized and move on.
I have a problem I need to chase down. The battery keeps going dead, and it was new just a little while ago.The battery charger cannot pump in more that 63% chargeI don't know what's causing this...

Here’s another thought, maybe Don should drive within limits of suspension.

So does the fella that built the axle have any part numbers for the brakes he put on there?
I believe an emergency bake must be a separate system, line lock doesn't work. Brakes fail, you need to stop you still don't have brakes, most are mech vs hydro.
Trying to understand why the backing plate won't work. Can't you just trim the center hole? Or was the offset different?
Don, I may have a solution sitting in my shop.....I have a Dana 80 with disc brakes out of a superduty (yes I know the pattern is wrong) that is 8 on 170 but I have a template to drill rotors from 8x170 to 8 on 6.5 I can take pics and measure and even drill the rotors for you. Thinking this might work on your mutant axle. I bought it for $50 minus axle shafts and gears are fubar. Wanted it for center chunk which I’m hoping bearing pockets are still good and I can do a front 80 steer axle build. Will be in shop in morning for awhile if you want to tackle this.
