Default 1500 to 2500 caliper mod
Just wanted to post a few pics and confirm there is a difference in size but the 2500 caliper/pads bolt right up. Only cost about 100$ with a coupon code from Advanced auto parts.

Looks good. Do you feel like it's giving better braking power?

Did you get the dual piston calipers? Those look bigger than the ones I bought, which were stock 1500 size but just with a larger piston.

Dual piston calipers are MUCH larger, and won't fit in the bracket.

You were making that list of things you were going to do today.

Or was that yesterday? Tomorrow? Oh, never mind.......

Some feed back on this mod and the brakes are noticeably better! Interesting to see that the 2500 brake pad uses entire rotor surface compared to 1500 pads. Next mod is the 3/4 ton rear wheel cylinders
