Default Dual Piston Calipers

Hi Guys I need some help.

Which make, year , model Dodge 1 Ton Van came with dual pistons. Like the pictures below.

I have Solid Dana 60 Axles with Chevy 1/2 Ton brake calipers on my Jeep Jk. The Brakes are really bad running 37" rubber.

Dynatrac have Big Brake Upgrade Kit which is essentailly Dodge 1 Ton dual psiton brake calipers but they refuse to give me part number or any other information since I am suing Solid Axles and not Dynatrac.

Once I know which make, model and year the dodge calipers are i have t find part number and go ahead from there.

I hope the pictures below help for what I am seeking help for..

Thanks in Advance

All 2000-2001 trucks have dual piston front calipers.

Dynatrac have Big Brake Upgrade Kit which is essentailly Dodge 1 Ton dual psiton brake calipers but they refuse to give me part number or any other information since I am suing Solid Axles and not Dynatrac
Sounds like typical Dynatrac. Read about it on DodgeRam.org, they wont give you part numbers for anything.

Why are you suing Solid Axles?

Thanks for response guys.
I am using the Solid D60 Axles bec thats all i can upgarde to here in Australia.

So back to the topic.

Can some one please give me part # exact year make and model so i can go ahead and purchase the dual psitons and rotors to matach them.

Dynatrac is terrible and I am glad I have used SOLID Axles. They even refused to sell me the big brake upgarde kit.
