05+ superduty disc brakes

I'd be interested in seeing your setup also. I'm using a 8x6.5 redrilled bearing, slip on dodge rotor and a bracket for the old school Chevy calipers like everyone uses on the 14 bolts..the rotor took some machining though. Opening up the center hole

I couldn't figure out any way to use those caliper without cutting the knuckle.

I was originally running into the same problem. But the dodge rotor was large enough diameter to pull the rotor away from the knuckle. Downfall is it needs at least a 17" diameter wheel and the rotor requires machining so it's not a simple setup.

Gubni, I'm interested to see what kit you've put together. I'm maintaining the 8x170 pattern, so I'm glad to hear the rotor you located will fit without modification. Hopefully they weigh less than the factory rotors that I measured at 32lb. each. When will you be able to provide more details?

gubni · Sep 24, 2017

The rotor definitely weighs less. I am very bad at guessing times, but I hope 2-3 weeks.

I'm interested as well.

My SD 60 doesn't have brakes and I'd like it to stay light.

I have a functional prototype on the 05+ super duty front kit. It will take some time to get production. I won't know cost for awhile, but it's not cheap and uses a small two piston caliper and slide on rotor. The kit comes with a ring to redrill to 8x6.5 lug pattern, but the rotor is 8x170

Sweet! Can you post any pictures?

gubni · Sep 27, 2017

I only have one pic right now. Here it is.

redneckengineered · Sep 28, 2017

Do you have a pic of those parts next to the factory rotor/caliper for size reference? Hard to gauge the difference in size in that picture.

gubni · Sep 29, 2017

I don't but official release will have lots of pics and weight saving info.

On my build I'm using a 99-04 matching set of super dutys, what is the best master cylinder to use with these, bore size etc..

gubni · Oct 1, 2017

I'm no expert on master cylinders, but it seems dual wilwood 3/4" are very common.

fabricator1 · Oct 4, 2017

You are using a smaller rotor and caliper than I am. I'd be interested in knowing what kind of backspace wheel will fit with your setup. Especially since the 05+ axles are a little wider

gubni · Oct 4, 2017

I don't have many 16" wheels so I'm not sure, but I don't think backspacing will be an issue.

fabricator1 · Oct 4, 2017

I was just curious if it was 8 on 6.5 bolt pattern, if a 5" backspace h2 wheel would fit? Or a h1 beadlock wheel

gubni · Oct 4, 2017

I'm not sure, I don't have one to test with. I can send you a kit and if it doesn't fit send it back.

gubni · Oct 8, 2017

I will have this kit ready to ship very soon. Before I make it 100% public I want three testers. These would be people that can install it within a week of getting it and drive it and give me honest feedback. If you say it's good, that's not what I'm looking for. I want details on how it went together and any ideas on hot to improve it. If interested pm me.
