So are you saying that the Sport has bigger calipers and so does the SLT depending on which wheels you choose?[sm=insomnia.gif] If that's the case, you're saying you get bigger calipers on the SLT if you choose 20's? Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't make much sense.
No thats not what I am saying. SLT's have an option for 20" rims thats it. Why don't you go to Dodge's web site and build a truuck and you will see what I am yalking about!!!

hmmm not sure what your talking about, if you could take a picture it would help explain, cause i mean i took my 20's off and put 17" rims with 33" m/t's on and have been fine, even in extreme off-road flexing

Ok sit down and try to understand. Sport package comes stock with 20" rims because there brakes ARE bigger. There is maybee a2 inchesbetween rim and caliper so there is no way a 17" would fit. SLT comes stock with 17" rims and have an option for 20" rims the brakes are the same size with either rim. It's just a accessories option.

Dude you are smoking crack. Sport models do not have bigger brakes...it is an appearance package only.

Bigger brakes...that's funny!!!

Now between the 1500 and 2500/3500 yes, but ALL 1500's have the same brakes unless they are after market.

I am saying that Dodge did not put special brakes on YOUR truck compared to all of the other 1500's in the world.

Just out of curiousity have you tried putting on a 17" rim yet?
