Now that is an upgrade! $4k, but a seriously good piece to have.
Need big HP to make that baby sweat.....

Find a quad cab Dana, those have spring pads on top like the normal trucks. Rear SRT brakes are full floating 2 piston. I'm pretty sure you don't need a 20 for the rears, but if you step to SRT front brakes, then you will definitely need them. FYI, crash stop with the SRT fronts, you BETTER be wearing your seat belt. I almost launched myself through the windshield one of the few times I wasn't belted.

Dunno, they require a spindle change and realignment. They were designed for 2wd. Other than getting the front end aligned right, I don't see why not, they use the same front bearing hub and don't block it any (try it and see).

a) I live in NY. 'Nuff said.
b) It's nice having monster brakes that you KNOW are going to stop that truck before you hit something
c) It's cool to say I have SRT-10 brakes that I personally installed on my Ram

I personally like the idea of it, but I don't like the price for the conversion just for a coolness factor. Even though I have had some VERY VERY close calls with my stock calipers and rotors, I'll prolly go drilled and slotted before I ever think of going SRT.
