  1. If you dont wan tto spend alot of money off the bat, a good set of cross drilled and slotted rotors and some good pads will help. Then hydraboost and a big brake kit. But a whole brake kit isnt cheap. I have hydraboost and a Baer complete brake kit with larger rotors everything, and I can stop on a dime. But there is alot of money in that.

  2. No problems just a direct replacement except this puts pressure on the rear end caps to strengthen them. Just use the right fluid and clean up the the old mating surface and use a good RTV, I use high temp its orange or red. Dont go wiping everything out the the rear end or using brake clean. Just let her drip until she is done, if there is a little fluid left at the bottom thats fine. once everything is done fill it the rear end up until it starts to come out of the fill hole then put the plug in and your ready to go. It also calls for an additive I believe with the rear fluid. Use synthetic. Your owners manual will tell you all of that.

  3. Those are the raceline explosions 22s I have.. really nice wheels.. Im even thinking of selling them if theres any interest... those milanni wheels are not bad.. are you gonna get them chromed? Any other finishes??

    They are chrome and then they have matte black with anthracite spokes.

  4. The wheels Im looking at are the Raceline Surge wheels and they offer a 15MM or 35MM offset. I think the 35MM offset will cause the wheel to push out past the fenders. The wheels I have now with tires the front tires are a little past the front bumper. the rears however sit in, its just the width of 305 that I think might be causing the whole issue. The wheels are from califonria and I dont want to order tires and wheel and have the weels not fit, then be responsible for paying for shipping back and a re stocking fee. Shit is stressful. lol Want to make sure all this fits before. Its my first lowered truck and want to get this right.

  5. I currently have aftermarket wheels on my tuck that are 22x9.5 and the tires are 305x40x22. Not sure off the offset with these aftermarket wheels since its at the shop still.

     

    The wheels im looking at are the same 22x9.5 but not sure what the offest is. The new wheel comes with either a 15MM or 35mm offset. I want the wheels to fit over my Baer big brake kit without ant issues. Ive read to go with atleast a 30MM offset.

     

    Any input would be helpful before ordering.

  6. The leaf spring upgrade s mainly for lowered trucks to help support the weight of the truck so it doesnt bottom out. It can still bottom out even with cut bushings and Beltech shocks. But it helps strengthen everything in the rear and give it more support.

    You will need to adjut the pinion angle with the installatin of the caltrac bars. It does change the pitch of the whole rear end.
