What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

[OEMPlus Raptor]

The Roush calipers some have recently purchased use the new bracket. I know this because I was sent the new style calipers and brackets and they do fit the truck (2018) I just wanted to help the guys that received kits that only contain rotors and calipers. If they buy the old bracket it will not work.
If your kit is already on your truck and you are only here to play “I win” that doesn’t help these guys out much does it?

Will these work with 17" wheels?

They do work with the OEM 17" wheels. It is hit or miss with aftermarket wheels. Mine are 18" +1 offset and have plenty of room to clear the calipers.

Made some more changes with forscan today. Switched the DRL to parking light only (stock LEDs only) and switched the panic alarm to 2 button pushes.

I have no personal experience but seems to be the consensus on the other threads that you may need the spacers (?$) Alcon provides with their kit to fit OE wheels. Also, you may need a tie rod end kit from them/other aftermarket company ($299-ish). For some reason some don't.

From the looks of the new style calipers they maybe a bit smaller - so spacers may not be needed? With the older ones like I have you need 7mm spacers for the OEM wheels which are provided. The fact that the new stuff fits the gen 2 makes me think all are cross compatible but again, I was told no by Alcon USA but maybe they don't even know yet?

I hear it's better if you take your brake rotors off, less rotating mass. Then there is no need for the 7mm spacers.

Are you referring to the standard Alcon kit, these Roush versions, or both? I'd be REALLY interested if I didn't have to run spacers on my Gen 2 with OE beadlock ready wheels.

They are the same. The Roush are Alcon's just a different color and a Roush logo. There are now 2 versions of the calipers, a new version that has a slightly different mount and bracket that appears to be a bit slimmer overall. Not 100% just going by pics I've seen. Apparently the new version work just fine on the Gen 2 Raptor - bottom line is if you have a gen 2, it seems either version will work just fine.

Nice bro, those are my first choice when my KO2's die. Can't wait to see it when you get it back and your thoughts are on them when we hit the trail. Probably going to feel like a complete different truck.

For sure mean! She gonna be wild.
