I thought a dual piston was used on 2000 and younger trucks.
Til 2000 it is only one piston, the dual will not fit on older trucks because you need also different brackets to put them on.
Thanks and greetings,

You need to check and make sure the mounting bracket for the dual piston calipers will fit your front end. If you have the Dana 44 I doubt they will. Dana 60 probably will, but not many 1500s have that axle.
You may have to physically look at both axles and take some measurements to see if this can be done or not.

However, at least in my area, Fedex tends to take care of the package better. USPS sometimes has it all beat to heck if its over a pound, and UPS definitely does. The heavier it is, the more UPS beats on it.

I am living in The Netherlands so trust me Fedex cost a lot more then USPS.
The problem is we have no Dealerships or partsstores here that have the parts.
So it is really important that I get the right parts.....
I have looked again on the side of rokauto to compare the calipers :
for a 1500 4x4 from 98 :
RAYBESTOS Part # FRC4418 {Professional Grade; Friction Ready Caliper, Remanufactured Bore Size=2.94" Inlet Thread=M10X1.5 Bleeder Thread=M10X1.5 (See More Info Page for Rebates & Promotions!)}
Front; Left
For a 2500 :
RAYBESTOS Part # FRC4414 {Professional Grade; Friction Ready Caliper, Remanufactured Professional Grade; Remanufactured; Brake Pads Not Included Bore Size=3.15 Inlet Thread=M10X1.5 Bleeder Thread=M10X1.5 (See More Info Page for Rebates & Promotions!)}
Front; Left; 7500 Lb GVW
So the bore is bigger!!
For the 3500 it smaller!!!! :
RAYBESTOS Part # FRC10184 {Professional Grade; Friction Ready Caliper, Remanufactured Professional Grade; Remanufactured; Brake Pads Not Included Bore Size=2.285" Inlet Thread=M10X1.5 Bleeder Thread=M10X1.5 (See More Info Page for Rebates & Promotions!)}
Front; Left
Now I have to find out ho to get them cheap here.....

I have a Dana 44 so I am almost sure it will not fit...
The cheapest way to get it in The Netherlands is to send it from Rockauto to an US adress and they must send it to me with USPS.
Thanks and greetings,
Erik.

the LD 2500 trucks under 8800LBS have the Dana 44 which have the 3 bolt 8 lug wheel bearing and hubs on them and use a slightly higher caliper, you can put the 3 bolt 5 lug wheel bearing and hubs on it but will have to use the 1500 calipers

The 8800 payload 2500s used the larger calipers for a while as well. Switching to them is a nice upgrade on the 1500's... They bolt right on. At some point though, they went to dual piston calipers, and those do NOT fit.
