Question Brake Calipers help!

ok i bought these big brake rotors slotted and drilled ok so i take them to the shop and they tell me that i cant install them because i need to upgrade to some bigger calipers or else hey wont fit idk what do you guys thinks? and they have some calipers but they say they run at 600 bucks. cant i just put them on there with no upgrade on brake calipers? or is there a website where they sell them for a cheaper price?

If you managed to make the bigger rotors work with the OEM calipers then any brakes for your truck will work. Cermaics are better as they are quiet and less dust. I use AZs C-max ceramics brakes and love them.

as far as brakes go I don't see how putting the bigger ones up front would be screwing you over..

if you were to upgrade any part of the brakes then it is going to be the front if you put bigger rotors in back than the front that's just not very smart
