Is there a caliper upgrade for our trucks? I haven't seen any aftermarket calipers that were any better then stock. Anyone running anything beefy?

 

Yo, check out racepages.com But remember sporty calipers are very mucho$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.I'm also thinking about upgrading myself.....

Spending

Try replacing front rotors with slotted or drilled rotors 160.00 Top of the Line Pads $50 - $60. Upgrade rear Drums with the bigger cylinder trick. $45.00 maybe.

While you got it all apart Paint the calipers (silver would be my choice on your truck.) Paint rear drums (black or silver) One thing about painting Drums. Use a little grease or vasoline at the contact points. (lug holes, center axle hole, back of the tire rim.) It will keep the paint from gluing the tire to the rim, etc.

Magic, one weekend, Couple hundred bucks, sincere upgrade to your brakes, & they will look better to. 1/2 or less the price of just the preformance front calipers.

Already have slotted rotors.
Already have top of the line ceramic pads.
Already painted the calipers.
Already have the stuff to do the 1 ton cylinder upgrade for the rear (just haven't installed it yet).

 

What about those oversized (bigger) rotor kits?
they aren't cheap though. summit has them for about $800.
