Do you have any pictures of the spare tire carrier you made?

I already checked into that, and line locks are not recommended for long term use, they start to bleed off after about 5 minutes of useWhy not just put a line lock in the rear brake line to use for a parking brake. Would be cheaper and easier then a separate master cylinder and would pretty much be accomplishing the same thing.
Could actually put one in front and rear and get better holding power.
or close it with no pressure to the rears and burnouts are alot easierthere is a ball valve in line with the brake line to the rear brakes that runs inside the cab. You apply pressure to the brakes, and shut the valve off, thus maintaining the pressure to the rear wheel cylinders; essentially creating a line-lock
exactly, no cheepo lowes valves. you need an industrial quality valve thats good for id say atleast 1K psi to be safeJust make sure you get a good high quality high pressure valve that will withstand brake fluid. Not some cheapo low pressure one from Lowes or Home Depot.
my hands were faster then my brain...i meant to type 3KI have heard of some brake systems making 2000+ psi at times so I would get a valve rated around 2500-3000 psi to be safe. Would suck to hit the brakes and blow the valve out.
