I don't believe there is a big brake kit for the fronts of 2WD F150's. The front rotors are one big assembly with the hub. You can't just replace the rotor and caliper.

And replacing the rears isn't going to help you any. You need your braking power where the weight of the truck is...

 

umm yeah there are several kits available for the 2wd in fact there are more big brake kits for the 2wd then 4wd the willwood kit is for 2wd the baer extream kit is for 2wd the ap kit is for 2wd......

as for the rear not helping any umm yes it will help not as much as the front but then again when did i say i wanted the rears? and also i know pleanty about brakes and how they work i have been racing since i was 5 years old and been working on them since then.....

 

i was thinking the same thing i just thought the nut cant be reused but the kits gotta include that.

 

I wasn't trying to insult you man, I'm by no means an expert... just trying to share what I've found. (or havent')

I just looked up the willwoods... looks like the kit includes a whole new hub assembly... I stand corrected. Fact is though, that you do have to replace the hub since from the factory, the hub and the rotor are a single piece on the 2WD. There's a nice write-up on it here: http://www.sporttruck.com/projectbui...all/index.html

 

ok well the hub is included in the kit so im not all that worried about it.....

 

When do you think you'll get on that custom turbo? Once you get it drawn out and start assembling please post the plans and stuff, I want a turbo bad......twin might not be that bad either.

 

probably not for a while i have the skills to do it and a rough idea in my head but just lack the money part of it right now, for now its just going to be straight pipes jlt intake pullies and efans, which all but the striaght pipes should be here any day i just need to get the xcal2

 

Look at the Power Slot upgrade. It uses your stock calipers(paint them)and gives you a bracket and larger rotors. Get a good set of premium pads. I've not used this kit, I don't have big enough wheels, but I have used Power Slot rotors on my past cars and trucks and have had no complaints.

 

I cant believe nobody makes an improved caliper that just bolts on the stock rotor. That and some ss braided hoses would do a lot and shouldn't be too expensive. Do these trucks use a twin piston caliper or single?

 

Twin Piston.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a larger caliper (larger pad) on a stock rotor create too much heat and be more likely to warp / crack the rotor?

 

don't get new pads and rotors, i have powerslot rotors front and rear and high performance brake pads and it really didn't make that much diffrence, if ur gonna do it bro do it right, i would recomend brembo's they look amazing behind big wheels and stop alot better than stock

actually ssbc (stainless steel brake company) has a 3 piston replacement caliper, to me it looks like the same size but with 3 smaller pistons

so far its looking like the baer if i get a 6 piston its the cheapest

also can someone be so kind to get a link to where i can find the brembos i cant figure out thier site

 

according to brembo's catalog they only offer kits for the 4WD f150's.
Part number for 04-06 4WD front kit is 1J1.9004A
See here: http://www.brembo.com/US/Performance/GranTurismoBrakes/

Does anyone have a link to the baer kit for the 2WD? I'd be interested in it...

 

yeah the baers being a grand cheaper then any of the other is nice
