As much as I'm a fan of the newer BJ stuff, I already have a kingpin axle, that got 70% of the shit I need on it.
Brakes?
Big brake kits:
Ecgs, 13" rotors (isn't that the same as stock?) says 16s fit, doesn't say what application the rotors and calipers are.

Nwf, 14" rotors, requires 17s, uses rotors and calipers from 09+ dodge. I like this kit, but I feel like a cnc billet caliper bracket is a little over kill, especially for $400/pair.

Torq makes some $180 brackets, but I'd rather not go there![Laughing :laughing: :laughing:](https://data.irate4x4.com/assets/smilies/laughing.gif)
Has anyone done anything similar themselves? I'd like slip on rotors for sure. Not sure I need 14" rotors for this rig. Maybe early 2000s dodge or Chevy 2500? Stuff?
Another thing I'd like to look into is unit bearings on a kingpin knuckle. I'm going to need spindles and hubs already, regular hubs have a reputation for easily getting water in. I've read that the register ID on the gm knuckle and UB knuckle is the same. This thread talks about it a bit, but fizzled out with no real solution.

A 1 piece caliper bracket and spacer with a drill guide for the UB pattern would be pretty awesome. Not sure if there is demand for that odd of a combo either.
