I've been planning on upgrading the brakes since I got it, a year ago. I was hoping I'd have time this winter, but now I have lots of time, just no money cause of all the time off.

They look so badass under those wheels.
At least now I know it's worthwhile when I get the funds together. I'd like to do stainless lines as well.

I know, that would definetly be an improvement. I wish Ford would put some kind of coating on them out of the factory as they are rusted already when you buy the truck new at the dealer.

As I said in an earlier post, both Baer and AP Racing make BB Kits for 04-08 4x4 F150's. There kits are pretty much identical to Wilwoods they just have a different name stamped on the caliper face.

Baer 4x4 Kit...


AP Racing 4x4 Kit...


Wilwood, Baer, AP Racing, SSBC, Brembo all make BB Kits for 2wd 04-08 F150's.

Very nice. I would love to have them on my truck. My brakes look really small behind my 24's.

I think the Willwood kit is a 16 inch rotor and baer is a 15 inch rotor. I'd love a set of the willwoods for my lifted 4x4. Willwood referred me to a custom shop that could make them fit on my truck but custom most likely means the price doubles or triples.

I don't believe anybody makes a rear BB Kit for any 04-08 F150 or any pick-up.
I know Wilwood makes rear BB Kits for the full size GM SUVS Yukon, Tahoe, Escalade ect...
