Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 71 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 71 | Just wanted to throw an idea out to you all . Why not use 2 smaller calipers . 2 Per side one at the 12 o'clock position and one at 6 o'clock .Say 2 full size GM calipers and a 12" or 13" disk this way you keep the stock hubs and axel . The only 2 pitfalls I can see would be bleeding the bottom calipers but if you used flex hose for the lines you could take it off put a piece of wood between the pads and hold in the upright position while they are blead . The other you would have to increase the fluid capacity of the reservoir or watch the level in the stock reservoir very carefully . Lots of caliper brackets out there for these calipers , you would have to only buy one set and copy them for the other side . If you go to the rockauto website you can find the disks and calipers real easy at pretty decent prices . I'm going to look into this later for my truck . As I said just a thought Paul 1948 2 ton
