  1. I'm ordering up myself a set of the powerslot upgrade kits. For around $400 an axle, you can go up to 14" all the way around. I sell the stuff and didn't even realize that I had them for sale. I should be putting them on this week and I'll tell everybody how I made out. By the time you buy pads, you can have 14" brakes all the way around using your stock calipers for around $950. I'll get back to everybody after I test them.
  2. I just hit 37000 miles and am metal-on-metal on the rear. I figure if I am going to put new brakes on, I might as well upgrade a bit. I found that through one of my vendors, I can buy kits from powerslot that will allow you to put 14" brakes on your truck all the way around using the stock calipers. I can get the front an rear brake kits for around $400 for each axle. To make the cross over, all you need is to provide your own pads. I guess the kit comes with the 14" rotors, a location bracket, and the hardware. You put the new 14" rotors on, and then mount your existing calipers (loaded up with whatever new pads you choose to put in them) using the relocating bracket with the enclosed hardware. I may own my own auto parts store, but it doesn't mean that I have $1500 an axle to throw on my truck to make it stop a little better. I figure that for $1000, I can have 14" slotted rotors all the way around with the factory caliper (not the best, but certainly could be much worse) loaded up with some Hawk pads. I am going to order them on Monday and will hopefully have them on the truck by Friday. If this turns out to be a decent decision, I'll tell you guys how to get them to upgrade your own brakes for a reasonable price. Email me if you have any suggestions or questions. RAD TOYS
