I just bought the rear brake bracket kit from BC and then bought all the parts at a local parts store. The whole thing ran me about 300-400 dollars. Just feel more comfortable buying parts from vendor who designed them for our trucks.

I haven't used them or even heard of them for that matter. However, I'd give them a try if the price was good.

Haven't used the kits but I did look into them.
They are generic type kits that weld onto the 9" axle. Very similar to the BC kit but not quite.
I didn't like what they were offering so I did not get near it.

HHHMMMM gotta work on my image. Deal master?? OK I can live with that. Just cant see paying too much for something when it can be made or adapted at the "right" price.

what i dont like by looking at teh pic is all the holes in the rotor so closely drilled togeter. looks almot like if it happened to wabble it wouuld try to rotate if it broke the little bit of metal left between the holes ??? but i dont know i am guessing

Good point I have to agree with you.
Looks to me like a redrilled chebby rotor with chebby calipers.
That would put it around a 11" rotor, a little small for my liking.

I saw those a while back and gave them some minor consideration. The thing that kept me from getting them is that they don't give you a phone # on their Ebay auction or their web site. I emailed them a couple of questions and got vague answers. When I asked for a phone # to call about info I got no reply so I marked them off my list.

the nice thing about the BC kit is the bleeder screw is in on top when mounted. All the other ones I've seen using the caddy calipers(most common for disc swaps) you have to take em out of the bracket to bleed em right.
