Brakes are here!

Spindles and calipers arrived Saturday. These things are massive, just around a foot long. I will begin disassembling them, then they are off to be powder coated a high gloss red. I will post pics as I progress.

Awesome! You definitely won't regret the brakes, just keep an eye on them, the bigger fixed 4 pistons are known to stick. I just replaced one, decided to upgrade to slotted rotors while I was at it.

Are swapping the rears/putting in the Dana too?

While they are apart for powder coating I am replacing all the pistons , rings, dust boots, also replacing the bleeder valves with speed bleeders. Got all 4 brakes and the spindles for 600. Awesome deal.

Don't have the rear, seller has it for me If I want it, but I have a 4WD, so besides having to have a drive shaft made I have no idea what else I would have to do, or if it is even possible.

Very possible:

One from a quad cab is a straight bolt in except for the driveshaft. Only issue you'll have is gear mismatch, they come with 4.56's, but the big ass rear brakes complement the fronts perfectly.

Question about the rear SRT brakes. Can't just the brakes be bolted to the 9.25 axle?

Was wondering the same thing, as long as you replace the rotors with the bigger SRT's

Anyone using SRT brakes on their 9.25 axle?

Ours are 13", SRT are 14"

Ours are 13", SRT are 14"

With that being understood, would the complete brake assembly bolt to a 9.25 axle?

No, not without fab work. I thought about it trying it before I actually installed the axle. Looked like more of a PITA than I was willing to deal with at the time. I know it's at least possible, Mopar did it on the SEMA 392 Urban Ram.
