Big Brakes

[New recaros]

Shop called me just now. Brakes are on and everything works. No CEL and OEM wheels have clearance.

I’ll pick it up in the morning and will post pics.

Have only driven back home from the shop, but initial bite is better for sure. Much firmer pedal feel and more confidence that the big bus will stop when needed.
Also, looks cool..

Not positive, but looks like your rotors may be on the wrong sides..

And that is a lot of wheel weights

They are correct side for sure.

Wheel weights came for free installed by Ford.

Strange, ever other type of slotted/drilled rotor has it facing the opposite direction

Nick, I'm curious about the fitment on the 21 and 22 trucks, were these with
the factory beadlock wheels or aftermarket. As I indicated previously the template
dimensions from Wilwood will not work on factory beadlocks!

Fortunately, @Andrew Macpherson just shared some pictures below confirming fitment with the OEM beadlocks on the Gen 3 trucks. I quoted his post below.

Looks awesome, man. Thank you for sharing!

I had to do a double take on that as well, but it is correct for these Wilwood kits.

Yes, looks awesome......
Wish I could have figured out the fitment for the Gen 2 trucks, wonder if the inner barrel
dimensions of the wheel is different Gen 2 to Gen 3.

So they don’t work on a 21 or 22 but will on a 23?

The brakes work on 21 and 22 trucks. The 23 has slightly different brake lines so Wilwood had to come out with something for that. If you have a 21 or 22, the Wilwood kits fit without issue.
