Review: Alcon Brakes for Gen 2

[Nex]

true true. I remember all those times I did 100+ on a logging road.
Maybe don't drive like a ****** to begin with should be the big take away on all this.

Could that 3k upgrade come in handy, sure it could.

Or maybe you could offer real help to the OP on their question instead of saying it costs too much or I shouldn't drive fast. Neither of those are helpful comments.

If you want to hangout in a parking lot staring at your truck, cool. You do you. I actually use mine.

So you are hoping that someone with a different point of view than you gets hurt?

Alright

Bringing this back to center. The Alcon's have been super impressive and genuinely one of the best upgrades to the truck. SS Brake lines are still hard to come by and I got mine from SDHQ - took a while but they installed easily and matched up to the OEM mounts perfectly. Tie rods can be found from a number of places and you don't need to spend a ton here - I think mine were $400 and we found them locally.

FYI I just used the OEM brake lines, I see no real need for SS lines. Brakes work amazing with the stock lines.

I think based on a post from the first page with the ebay link saying there was only one kit left and it looks like several people have bought from that link/seller since then, that it's probably safe to say that seller has more than one kit left or available. Probably a marketing thing. I would say no need to rush into buying one to try and get the "last one", since it's probably just a marketing scheme by the seller.

The OEM brake lines should be fine. If you're already doing the calipers upgrading to SS is one of those "while you're in there" mods but might not be entirely necessary. My SS lines are stock length and should work for 1 to 3" lifts. Why you'd go at the top of that range or above that I don't know

stainless lines aren't necessary in 99.9% of cases. they just look cool.

I went with stock length ss line in the front, and +4 for the centers. Will be adding a bypass rack so want the extra length for the droop.

Don’t forget the breather tube and the wheel speed sensors.
