Default BIG brake system for '05 Ram 1500 2WD

I am in search of a 14" brake system with 2 or 4 piston calipers for front and rear. I had my sights on Baer but they claim to not make a brake system for 2005 Ram 1500, neither does Wilwood. SSBC only makes them for the front. I even spoke with the service manager at my local dealer about putting in an SRT-10 brake system in my truck, but that would require replacing the master cylinder, spindles and several other parts. Any replies are greatly appreciated.

If you need huge brakes, go with the SSBC fronts. That is where the majority of your stopping power comes from anyway. Then go with some rear powerslots and hawk or akebono pads.

I just got off the phone with Dutch over at Baer and he tells me that it will be another 3 to 6 months until a brake system for my truck will go into production. I'm gonna wait it out. Thought I'd share in case anyone else is looking for a brake system upgrade.
