Wow! 15' brakes!! I can't touch that (I could only get 15" brakes).


It needs to quit raining....

 

See, in my case my rims and tires are very heavy. I mean it is difficult to just to pick them up and put them on the axles/lugs.

So for me, I am going to be putting on a hydroboost that are designed for 3/4 and 1 ton trucks + load weight.

 

i appreciate what everyone has to offer. now there was one guy that said i need the spindles and all of that. I have a lift on the truck now and its a copy of the old ones except bigger. so i am assuming that this idea is a bust and won't work am i right??? and is the other guy right on the cross drilled and slotted from hawk???

 

Yeah, and I think if you PM hemi lonestar he would prob give you a pretty good deal on the rotors. They have 33k miles on them, You could try them out at the very least and see if they help the big tires at all.

What type of tires are you running?

 

I don't think the additional pressure will help you much IMO. You need the additional leverage and heat dissipation offered by meatier calipers and bigger rotors. I mean you can clamp on the brakes harder with more pressure, generate more heat and have fady *** brakes but to get the full effect from the booster kit you will need heavier equipment.

 

^ This is where I got the idea from

He never said wether or not it works good? Did you talk to him about it weed?

 

I did talk to him and he said it worked but he was using his mainly for clearance issues when doing his drop. I do know guys run them for bigger cammed engines where less vacuum is created. He was supposed to get me some pics but never did and I ended up getting my own.

 

That's usually where I've seen them run with gas engines, whole lotta cam and still want power brakes.

 

well to oefootball_70 the size of tire I am running are 37's on the factory 20in rim. i am going to get different rims later on but for now I am happy with these. I found a kit by ssbc that is around $700. I think I will go for those. Its a bigger caliper using stock mounting locations and its what i want. I don't care about doing all that stuff for some srt brakes, to me i just want to stop before i run over all them honda's lol. that would be a bad thing tho, taking out all them ricers lol, no offense to any honda owners that have a ram truck.
