? for the front brakes
What is envolved to put the bigger rotor's and caliper's on a factory disc brake 71 truck? I know I have to buy the parts but I want to know what kind of hands on work to the truck will have to be done.

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |

Different spindle with a bolt on caliper bracket like CPP's Modular spindles.

Well that's nice. I guess I will look some place else to spend my money. Not going to swap spindals just for a little more stopping power. It stops fine now.

(13" or bigger) McGaughy's and CPP both sell affordable big brake kits.
