Default On the topic of brakes...

I read that 03/04's have a larger, dual piston front caliper. The 03's also have factory rear discs.

Anybody thinkin what I'm thinkin?

You have to replace everything between the ball joints with the 03/04 versions, but for those of us with oversize sliders...gotta replace the knuckle anyways at next brake change!

Wonder if dodge/mopar/pick-a-company will agree to a mass buy of 03/04 spindle/knuckle/caliper/ect set.... Ditto for the rear brakes. At which point we can all also switch up to V8/quad cab springs as well.

We can only wish
