I ran across a “2011 thread” about 1/2 ton caliper upgrades, swapping 2500 or 3500 calipers ,but there was never any elaboration on whether it was only the same concept to do this on a 2wd swap.
I’m trying to get some insight on whatever become of the option to run 3/4 or 1ton calipers directly bolt onto c1500 2wd spindle , which were said to bolt right on? I’m looking to do the same thing..
What I didnt find out was if you had to use a 2wd 2500 or 3500 caliper or 4wd 2500 /3500 caliper?
Anyways it was said you can bolt a 1 ton caliper right to a 1/2 ton truck for braking upgrade and keep your c1500 calipers and rotors but wasn’t specified whether you needed to swap the 2500/3500 rotor or if you can retain your stock 1/2 ton 5 lug rotor ?
I have to stay 5 lug with my wheel investment, so hoping the caliper swap is doable ? Wether using a 2500 or 3500 2wd swap caliper
Alternatively there’s some options I seen Online for “power stop” calipers that reviewed decent for better stopping efficiency, JEGS item and a few other sellers … any suggestions or info on the above swap would be greatly appreciated
