Re: brothers disc brake conversion kit

Tie rod will depend on what spindle you have. Was the kit designed for the stock ball joints, or different year ball joints? Most likely the tie rod end corresponds to whatever year ball joints were used.

Is it 6 lug or 5 lug? If 6 lug, you'll have to special order the 6 lug rotor. CPP sells just the rotor I believe. You can probably find it on Summit Racing. If 5 lug, you can go to your local parts store of choice to get a stock rotor for the later model trucks. Just make sure you order the correct 5 lug rotor (1.25" vs. 1" rotor). You will most likely be able to acquire new pads and calipers for the same year truck you get a 5 lug rotor from if the stuff is stock type.

So, got any pictures of what you purchased? Maybe a part number?
