You want the ones from the 7500 pound rating. Those should be single piston calipers, that are basically the same as the ones on your truck now, just slightly larger piston diameter.

 

My buddy said he put the HD brakes on. The 8800 lbs calipers. That what I have on my 2500 and they r single piston and I believe they bolt n the same as a 1500.

 

Depends on the parts catalog. I went to get bleeders for my calipers, and was just going to have the counter guy pull a caliper for my truck, and match the bleeders up.... what the catalog said, was a dual piston caliper, which I do NOT have on my HD 3/4 ton truck. I think dodge played fast and loose with some of the parts they put on the trucks.....

 

Worked awesome! I even got the 8800lbs calipers on there. They completely cover the rotor like you said. That with the 1 ton wheel cylinders made a huge difference. After bleeding them correctly I have my pedal back too.

BUT!! Half ton brakes on a dodge with 37's is still horrible compared to my friends 2500 with 35's. lol

I think the end solution will probably be downgrading to 35's when my half dead wrangler MTR's die. 35's and 4.56's should be awesome. I think 37" is just a bit overkill. I just need to find some 4-1/2" blocks and a 1" coil spacer to replace my 2" spacers so it doesnt look so funny with the smaller tires.. Anyone looking to go up an inch?

 

Awesome. Glad to hear they worked out for ya.

 

After reading through a couple threads I'm not sure, I have a 2001 4x4 Sport with just rear ABS. Will any of these upgrades apply to a 01?

 

The wheel cylinders might, but, I think you already have dual piston calipers up front?

 

no no no no no no no!!!!!

No to all on the 2001

I have done the brake upgrade, 1 ton chev wheel cylinders, 2500 calipers, ceramic pads AND RUSSEL STEEL BRAIDED BRAKE LINES! available special order at autozone. the steel braided brake lines did help. NO complaints in the breaking department. I am running 285/75/16 rubber.

 

How much did those lines set ya back?
