Buggy questions

[tommy450r]

I'm in the middle of building a buggy and have a couple questions.

Is -3 brake line ok for wilwood 3/4in masters chevy d60 front calipers and chevy 3/4 ton rear calipers?? I can get a really good deal on Russell stainless braided brake lines but only in -3.

What size bumps should I run on a bouncer? I'm gonna go with fox bumps just don't know which ones I need. I've never ran any bump stops other than the rubber ones.

It's a Randy's rock rods chassis with 5.3 th350 205 chevy one tons and I'm gonna run 43s or 44s

Bumps is a matter of opinion but I had 4" in the rear and they just hit too soon so I went to 2" with higher pressure and was much happier.

-3 is fine. Brake lines don't really "flow" fluid. They mainly just transmit pressure.

Set your suspension before you order bumps because until you get it mounted you won't really know what length bumps you need.

Ok cool hopefully I will have it linked and sitting on its own weight this weekend and I will just measure and see what kind of room I will have.

What about the difference in the 2.0 an 2.5 bumps? Is it like coilovers 2.0 for trail riding and 2.5 for high speed/race??
