2500 brake on a 1500
I searched but could on lt find stuff for the '94-'99 single pistons calipers. I have a '00 1500 4x4 with the dual piston calipers. From what I could find, they are 54mm bore. Will the 2500 dual piston calipers bolt on and if they do will the 56mm bores make that much of a difference over the stock 54mms? As far as the rear drums go, is going to the larger GM wheel cylinder worth it on a 1500? from what I found all '00-'01 had the same 1" wheel cylinders in the rear and the '94-'99 size varied with model and year.

You could go with a 1 1/16" wheel cylinder from an older dodge. Doesn't seem like much but 1/16" adds quite a bit of area to the piston. I put them on our 95 and really like them. I think the 1 3/16" cylinders would add too much rear brake unless you are carrying 1000 pounds or more in the box or towing a trailer regularly.
