Had a great day at TGW! The truck did awesome! Im thrilled with how it performed...No big issues, broke throttle cable, i had a spare.i think my battery is on its way out too. Left my elec fan on for a little while and it killed my battery. All in all had a great day wheeling with my friends.

Are those steel or aluminum rims? And where did you get your new centers? If I got to rocks I'm gonna run my 44 inch boggers

who did you get your pinion breaks from?
I got my brake from DIY4X. Came w/ brackets, rotor and bolts. You buy your own reg Chevy truck caliper and pads. I did have to shim my bracket out 1/8" so the caliper would fit right om the rotor, Other than that it works good.

Your rotor is on backwards, I bought and installed the same kit, it came with no instructions so I went on their website and found this pic

I know its kinda late now lol, but if you ever wanted to remove the Spacer you could

Bowtie972 · August 31, 2012, 01:38:26 PM

No, actually its not. The pic you have up, to me it looks like the chunk is rotated 180, or its a front axle. If you look at my pic, and the way the bracket is in relationship to the rectangle cover and side cover, its actually the same. The problem i had was with how the rotor fit in the caliper, it wasnt centered right. I had to shim the bracket out for that. Spinning the bracket wouldnt change that, it would still be on the same plane. I had talked to Kert, the owner of DIY4x, he said sometimes one doesnt get bent quite right, he told me i could send it back for a new one, i chose to shim it 1/8' instead.

michigan maniac · August 31, 2012, 05:17:09 PM

Your braket is fine, its the rotor that is on backwards, see in my pic how you can see the rotor cooling fins, and cant see the tabs that bolt the rotor to the hub, and in your pic you can see the tabs, if you were to flip your rotor the other way and remove the 1/8 inch Spacers for the bracket, everything will fit perfect, I should've been more specific in my first post, I made the same mistake with my kit when I first installed it, the caliper didn't fit right, then I.flipped the rotor, and now its perfect, I took mine apart 3 times before I figured it out,
