Brakes on a 99 Ram 1500 - anything special to consider?
Planning to do the brakes on my truck - just wondering if there is anything that needs special attention, any special tools, issues anyone has had in the past?

do the rear one side at a time, so you can use the opposite side for reference.
when bolting the calipers back on, bolt in the bottom one first so its easier to get the top one aligned without laying on your back. do the front one side at a time as well or you'll seize the piston on the opposing side

That makes it much easier to have them both machined at the same time time.
