Thanks for the help, yet again! Looks like its time for new brakes all around..

Would you have any idea if the 2500HD, or 3500 calipers and pads are direct bolt ons for a 99 1500?

Right now I have 2500 base calipers.. If I remember correctly you dont want to go bigger then 2500 rotors, but I forget why

From what I'm told the 2500LD calipers with the 1500 Pads and rotors on front.
2500 Cylinders on rear with 1500 shoes and drums.

The 2500 HD calipers wont work due to dual pistons and different bracket needed to fit on the front.

Would you suggest going down to 2500 cylinders?
