Upgraded brake question...

[sewlow]

Simpler to maintain. & yes, you should use an adjustable proportioning valve.

So what sewlow listed, with the substitution of 88-91 front rotors, is EVERYTHING you need to do the swap?

 

[sewlow]

The list should pretty well cover what you need. I haven't done mine yet. I'm leaning towards the ebay kit. The vendor is just south of me, in Washington state, so I can get help on the install or return it easy enough if it's not as described.

After doing some research on the 1-ton front calipers, I seem to keep finding two, one for dual rear wheels and one for single rear wheels. What are the differences between the two? Should there be a difference? According to AutoZone there is:

With single rear wheels:

With duals:

^^^Thanks. Any idea if the MC's are different between the models...K1500 to K2500 to K3500? (I know I should probably do some research myself)

 

[DRAGGIN95]

Yes they are different, not just by look's but also the bore that fit's in to the hydroboost unit on most 3/4 and 1 ton's!

Sorry to high-jack...

I just got some 1 ton calipers, braided stainless lines, and fixed the leaky axle seal that was lubricating the passanger drum. I'll spend some quality time with the Mighty-Vac and a bottle, or two, of brake fluid and we'll see how she stops after all that.
