INEXPENSIVE 6 Piston Brake Upgrade?

[FULLTHROTTLERICK]

Thanks @FULLTHROTTLERICK appreciate the info. I was sure hoping the stocks with a spacer would fit but doesn't look like that will happen

Yea i wouldnt count my chickens on that working unfortunately. My wheel got stuck twice on the caliper. 1st time it was the wheel weights, so i spun the wheel 90deg and tried again. Once i felt resistance I stopped. Maybe it could be jammed further and made to fit, but 2-3 knicks on the new caliper was enough for me.

I don’t mind wear & tear, but make it a cool or stupid Offroad story. Not me, forcing a square peg into a round hole (a brand new, candy apple red round hole at that) in my driveway at one in the morning

Alcons it is then if no stock wheels!

My Rotora HD’s worked with stock wheels front and back.

Any comparison on these versus stock performance wise?

We ran OEM for about 18 months and Powerstops for the last 18 months. We just installed these and they def stop faster than both setups. Still early in our testing and we likely have a bubble in the line but when they bite, dang they F'in bite!

UPDATE: Ok fellas. I bled the brakes this evening and went for a ride and HOLY SHIT. THESE RC BRAKES BITE HARD AND HARD AF!! Curb weight is exactly 8650lbs with me and my wife in the truck (she's the 50 hehe) and i honestly dont think the truck stopped this fast when it was bone stock...and we're also on 40s. We just did a few little stops in the hood (25-0/ 20-0/ 15-0) but i cant wait to get it to 60 and see how it does. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM VERY VERY HAPPY SO FAR WITH THESE CHEAP ASS BRAKES!!! Thanks again @Nick797

Gunna try to post a few funny braking clips from this evening for your entertainment. A photo of our 1st brake application below

Not sure why the trx only got 4 piston calipers. Weak.

If only they would fit my stock wheels. I just bought a set of beadlocks and still have my factory black ones ...

Yea i wish they fit the stockers too. I've got 5 up in the attic on the off chance a decent 40" MT tire gets released for an 18" wheel. Now i suppose they're just collecting dust for nothing. I need strong brakes for this heavy bit@h!!!

I'd be in if someone can confirm it'll fit with Vossen HFX-1 18x9 +0. Just looking for a yes or no answer lol

Can you get the calipers in black by chance?

Just red, but for how cheap they are you could get them painted or powder coated in any color you could imagine.

Very true!

Very true. I thought about doing em in the orange theme we have going on but the red dont look bad since we have a few red accents like the 6.2l SC hood badge/etc. Doesnt look totally outta place like a canary yellow caliper or smthin wild like that
