Caliper upgrade

[1990rooster]

When u upgrade to one ton calipers do u get one ton or half ton pads? Planning to do the swap tomorrow

i did 1 ton pads, the 1/2 tons wouldnt fully clip in and it bothered me so i opted for the 1 ton and they clipped in perfectly.

im pretty sure when i did mine i put the 1/2 ton pads.. all you gotta do is bend the metal clips behind them!

Use the 1/2 ton pads. The 1 ton pads will hit the rotor because they are longer....

Proceed, gentlemen.

They fit the caliper perfect, but on my truck the outside pad was resting on the rotor with the caliper bolted down. The 1 ton pads are about 1/4" longer, so unless you want to grind that off they ain't gonna work. I already wasted $40 on pads I can't use but y'all go ahead an try it.....

did you guys get different make brake pads...? they might not all be the same specs

think mine were just lifetime warranty duralasts just so i knew itd work and then later on ill upgrade to something like i had on the camaro. i say go with the 1/2 tons i guess, might be the safer bet if mine are "suppose" to rub.

What did you get pads for? A 6 lug 2500 uses the same pads as a 1500. The pads I tried were for a 3500 or a 8 lug 2500. They were ceramic power stop pads, they are in the for sale section now lol...

Could be a difference between brands I guess the ones I had wouldn't though....
