brakes

the brakes on my truck suck, and only the driver front will lock up, it has the junk 1' rotors on it now, im thinking of updating the front to the 1 1/4, what all would be needed in the swap?

Besides rotors, calipers/pads, you will also need spindles.

I think you will need the complete setup for a JB5 brake system, which is a 1-1/4" rotor. I'm pretty sure the MC is different between the two.
