If we can figure out the geometry so they work well to make these an attractive upgrade for the older trucks then maybe the aftermarket will step up and make some 13" or larger brakes for them.
One nice thing about these as they sit is that they work with 15" wheels so they are a good upgrade even for those who wish to use stock rally wheels on their trucks, even if only occasionally.
I'd like to see an aluminum bearing hub designed for these spindles that will use some off the shelf large Wilwood slip on rotors and good calipers. I'm sure the 88-98 truck guys would appreciate that too.
