8 lug vs 6 lug?

i want to bolt their calipers and pads on and use normal 1/2 ton rotors. i don t want to swap to 8 lug

If I were you I would just get the f44 heavy duty chassis rotors, they are thicker then the normal 1500s and they will work with the f44 calipers which have the 2 15/16 pistons.

Could you use the 2500LD rotors? Are they the same as the F44 rotors?

Yes, the k2500 8 lug 8600 GVWR calipers will bolt right up to a stock k1500 6 lug knuckle. It's not a huge difference but the pistons are a little bit larger on the 3/4 ton caliper.

You have to use the stock rotors an pads for your truck though. The 8 lug pads are to long to work with the 6 lug rotors.

3/4 ton inner pads will work, but you are correct about the outer pads.
