Has anyone taken our Truck's and added larger rotor's to the front brakes? Of course this wouldnt be a simple bolt on, of course fab work would be in store. My question is IF anyone has done this, WHAT rotor's did you go with? The problem im running into is that our rotor's and wheel bearing are in a one piece design. Making it hard to find a larger rotor that will simply slip on to our Knuckles.

Got a set of 3rd gen 20"s with 295/40/20 tires that will be going on. Also am doing a custom fabbed rear disk brake swap with my front stock caliper's......I will be adding much larger calipers to the front of the truck once i am able to map out what rotor's i will be going with on the front

The most common front brake "upgrade" ive seen is moving to the 2000+ dual piston calipers.

I am researching that right now.....Do you know if the whole spindle has to be swapped out or if the newer caliper is a direct bolt on?

I was told the knuckle on pre-00 4x4 trucks had to be replaced so I would imagine it's the same with the 2WD trucks as well.
