Upgrading Front Brakes
Who's got more information on what I've read before about upgrading the front brakes on a 1998 1500 by installing heavier duty factory brake components? I just don't remember what level or year.
I've swapped out my rear axle for one with discs, and I plan on changing up to a Hydrobooster. I figure the next area to address when I do that is the front brakes.
Thanks.

I *think* that happened in 2000 on the 1500's. When I went to buy calipers for my truck, they wanted to sell me dual piston calipers..... mine are not.

I put 7500 GVW ones on my 97 1500 which are 2500 "light duty" calipers. Bigger piston by a few millimeters, can't remember how much but they did help the truck quite a bit. Make sure to get pads specifically for a 7500 GVW truck if you do this swap as the pads for a 8800 GVW 2500 are thicker and will NOT fit. Not sure what you are running for wheels but this setup still clears 15" rims
