[QUOTE="stutaeng, post: 23929, member: 6175"] I just took the truck for a spin to do some brake break-in. Awesome mod! Trucks stops with much less effort and very smooth! I wound up ordering some thicker shims as per the other thread we have somewhere here that [USER=795]@adriver[/USER] posted (from Amazon: [URL]https://a.co/d/2wiCS06[/URL] ) And I ground a nice chamfer on the inside of those calipers for clearance. The only thing I don't like is driver's side brake hose is now too tight, not much slack. The old calipers have the hose connection at the top, where as these are in the middle. Maybe I'll look for a longer hose. (Edit: I have lifting knuckles on this truck, I think that explains the hose issue...) Also, ever since I rebuilt the front end I get a sort of binding noise when the suspension flexes. It looks like my coil springs binds on the upper mount. Maybe I can recompress and center it?
