Front Brake Kits

Just wondering if anyone has installed an aftermarket brake kit on their truck (wilwood, baer, ssbc etc). I'm in the market for some new brakes on the front of my '84 and was curious as to what kind of luck some of you have had with any of these manufacturers.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Fronk Brake Kits

Have the SSBC Force 10 front and their rear conversion kit...happy about the quality of both...only bad thing about the front kit was that I have to run a 1/2" spacer on the front in order for the caliper to clear the wheels.

Re: Fronk Brake Kits

Guys,
Thanks for the link, and thanks for the 'welcomes'.....I'm sure you'll be hearing from me a considerable amount. I'm trying to get this beast in shape for her second Hot Rod Power Tour Long Haul.........
Thanks again......and if anyone else has any suggestions, I'm all ears!
