I'm not trying to hate on you here, but that set up is a little sketchy considering you paid someone to do it. It's one thing if its home grown and in process, but coils with a slant like that is not safe. I am pretty sure there were solid axles with coils available and unless you got a great deal I would demand the correct parts. Also the lift shouldn't effect the brake feel. Unless you are talking about suspension dive on breaking. Anyway , check out the brakes and good luck with the setup. I hope my worries are for nothing. But if you have any trouble take it back ASAP before they say your out of warranty.
also, is it just me or is the front drive shaft....missing?

Yes the work was free, i still need to get the correct coils and towers as it is stiff as all hell. And yes the driveshaft is out since i still need to put the gears from the ttb axle in it. I was assuming the brakes are soft is because of the 79 f150 calipers i had to use?

the shop installed his lift and labeled it a pro comp lift. which he later found out was a RC lift kit. he went in and complained and they offered to do the work on the SAS for free to save there asses.
hope i didn't leave anything out Tyler.

To my knowledge i had to use 79 f150 calipers but for the reason im not sure. The work was free because when I originally lifted my truck I ordered a pro comp lift, I found out thanks to a member on here that my lift was in fact a rough country lift. So to make it right the shop installed my straight axle for free.
