If you need an ebrake, I actually don't recommend this kit. Here's why: The only pliable ebrake option is the 70's ElDorado calipers, and the'yre not really known for dependability. They have a really funky torsion screw setup inside the piston that manually presses it to the rotor. This setup has been known to cause cavitation and pressure issues within the brake lines. I love my CaptainFab setup and the fact it was affordable, but my ebrake is a brick under the tire.

Before I recommend another rear disc setup, what is your front brake setup and what is the overall intended use of the truck?
