Some Brake Questions and Opinions
Hello Everyone.
I have the chance to get some 3'' drop spindles locally and delivered ![]() ![]() But they are for 1.25 rotors, Im currently running 1.00 rotors. Im planning on transplanting a decent HP setup into this longbed someday. So bigger brakes could never hurt !! ahahaa My main question is about the 1.25 rotors and caliper assembly. What all do I need to swap out ? Im assuming at the least the rotors, wheel bearings, spindle jam nut, calipers, caliper bolts and possibly the brakelines ? Any difffernce in offset's or anything like that Im planning on getting the calipers and bolts/misc stuff at the local pick a part. The rotors will be purchased new. Thanks for the help guys. Hopefully this weekend I can start the part collecting ![]()

Re: Some Brake Questions and Opinions
Sounds like you already have a good list of what needs to be changed. I don't think you need to change the brake hoses... but everything else you mentioned sounds spot on.
