Review: Alcon Brakes for Gen 2

[Nex]

Did you get these from the eBay seller? Thinking of snagging up a pair for my 2019. How did it work out for you?

Yes, I did get them from ebay. Not Monday yet so no brackets. And still waiting on brake lines.

Alcons' still working?

Finally got my brackets today and got the passenger side installed.. good news is I didn't need new tie rod ends. Will finish the drivers side tomorrow

Can you grab a pic of the clearance between the tie rods and rotor?

It was hard to get a pic that looked accurate. I have 3/16" clearance...



Here is what the factory clearance was if someone wants to gamble on ordering tie rods...


No issues with the factory beadlocks but I did order and use the spacers because it was close

Did you try it without the spacers? Was hoping I could get away without them with the new brackets.

Looks like they should fit without spacers (19/20 beadlocks at least)...

Thanks. Can't tell from the pics but looks pretty thin. On the other hand, I would suspect those wheels (same I have) do not flex too much.

These are looking more appealing by the day.

I needed these around my local beltway the other day. I ran out of brakes essentially, whew baby Heesoos.

Don't forget to clean your truck seats.
