Seems Roush shaved the raised alcon lettering on the front of the caliper.

@Space Ghost you have the new style calipers. 2021+ Did you order your brackets yet?

You should be fine with factory wheels. I have aftermarket wheels that has material where the factory wheels do not.

Thanks, fingers crossed on that.

Good news is now it gives me an excuse to search for some stainless brake lines too while i wait.

Which brackets did you order? Part number? And what year truck are you working with?

These ones, got the link from one of the forum threads on this pertaining to the roush ones in specific, cant find it atm (edit: lol it was this very thread). Truck is a 2018.

Found these, https://alconkits.com/heavy-duty-truck-brakes/bracket-kit-ford-raptor-f-150-front-detail, holes seem a bit different, but now im wondering if the first i got ordered will even fit.

Those are the correct brackets for your calipers, 2021+ The mounting points on the steering knuckle didn't change, just the caliper mounting point. So you have to wait until you get your calipers before ordering the brackets to see which ones you get.

My truck is a 2018 and I installed the same brackets without any problems.



Just need to watch out on the tie rods, I had to replace mine.

2019, didnt need tie rods. However my method 305 double standards didnt fit so I had to get 793s.

The alcon kit ran great at TRR. Thanks to Nick at Apollo Optics for the hook up.

Looks great, man! Glad we could get you setup and glad you could use them at TRR!

Anyone know why these kits don’t fit the gen 3 trucks but fit the regular 21+ f150s? I don’t see why the calipers would be any different, maybe different brackets?
