I removed the abs module years ago, so conventional bleeding worked for me

What did you use to balance the front and back, a proportioning valve some where? Got any pics of where you mounted it, etc,?

Installed a "t" type fitting, but no proportioning valve needed. I didn't change to rear disc or anything, just removed the abs module and reconnected the hoses. I'll try to get a pic up later today when I get home.

I don't remember all the details exactly, it was early on after I got the truck. About 8 years ago. Had my dad helping me at the time
