Re: Ebay disk brakes

Thats a big kit!
I have the McGaughy 5 lug kit on mine paired with 2.5" drop spindles. I bought it from Summit Racing along with 3 inch rear drop springs. I found after installing all of it that the power booster isn't required, nor is it something I felt like my truck needed. The discs were a huge improvement, the booster may make a big difference as well, but I didn't find it needed. I know that my whole kit cost me ~$650. I know this has some more stuff in it, but look around first. You may be able to piece it together for less money.


As far as quality of the kit:
I can only speak to the brake parts and drop spindles, but I absolutely love them! Truck stops just as well as any of the modern cars in my driveway and it was relatively easy to install. (If you haven't removed spindles before...have fun)

McGaughy has some of the best fitting and quality parts. Definitely worth the money.

Re: Ebay disk brakes

As already mentioned McGaughys is known to sell quality parts. If you can't afford it go for it.
