Brake Upgrades?

[Socalramfan]

I'm curious to know if the brakes on a 1500 are the same as that on a 2500.

The 2500 is heavier, and would make sense that the brakes are upgraded to having more stopping power all things considered.

If indeed they are "upgraded" has anyone done the swap? Any pics? Issues you ran into etc?

Check out my thread (HD General). EBC RK series upgrade on my 2016 Ram 2500. Made a world of difference. I doubt the brakes are the same 1500 vs 2500 (8 bolt). Can’t go wrong with EBC. Also stainless steel brake lines make a huge difference. Let us know what you decide.

I'll check them out. Thanks.

I'm guessing that the rotor size could be the same, as both 1500 & 2500 can fit 17" wheels. True 5 vs 8 lugs, but that can be worked around.

If the calibers are beefier, then as long as the carriage bolts match up.... walla.

Sorry about that, post is in The other forum (Ram Forumz HD General) titled: OEM brake pads engineered by the fine folks at Jiffy peanut butter
