Bare steel, they were assembled on the truck then painted with the rest of the frame. I am running Napa rotors, is there a preferable brand that doesnt cause the interference?

I do not know of any specific rotors that are any different than others and no customers have let me know of any.

My latest revision of the caliper brackets was in October of 2014. So you do not have the revised brackets. If you will send me your shipping info, I will send you a set of the newest caliper brackets.

I think I solved the problem: popped the calipers off and bent the upper "fingers" on the outer pads downward and it seems to have solved the issue thus far. It pulled the pad up of the rotor hat. And there's about a 1/16th -1/8th inch clearance now. If the issue persists I may take you up on that offer. Thanks again!

OK. Hopefully those pads will stay in place up off of the rotor hat. If not let me know.
