What size wheels will fit under there? I initially wanted to go with wilwoods but they didnt make a kit for us but I thought forsure parts could be assembled that do fit. Any chance we can get some part numbers?

I'm looking to upgrade my IC, what was the deciding factor of going with the Titan? How much$ ? If you don't mind. I see the AFE and Mishimoto on CJ Pony , not knowing what to look for. Thanks
There are some other IC’s that would work but I wanted stock location and CVF had good results with their original IC the Titan 2 was their revamp of the original design and a lot of people on the forum have used it with good results so I went that direction and am very pleased.

I had Alcons on the truck, but HM's Long Legs don't work with them. So Kevin hooked me up with these instead.

I am curious to hear your experience with the transition from the Alcons to the Wilwoods. I have planned on the R1’s from Evil Manufacturing but want to know you take on these brakes. They look amazing. Thanks.

To be fair, Kevin is installing a smaller 6 piston caliper in the rear. He is currently working with Wilwood on a bracket for the rear. My Scab is a 2017 which does not have the electronic parking brake like 2019+. I am curious myself on how the truck stops as I had the 40's on it with the Alcons.

Not sure if thats the new Wilwood kit on 06z's truck but Wilwood showed this off at SEMA last year. The new kit is designed around 17s and should be available in the next month or so. Here's a link to the story about the new kit.




edit; Looks like these are available.

That is what I have. They are still working on the rear kit. Kevin from HM Suspension is using a smaller 6 piston caliper on the rear. He is working on a caliper bracket. This is the best shop I have ever worked with.

I have Titan 7 wheels which are 17 x 8.5" and Kevin said they clear with no spacer. With Alcon's, I needed at least a 5 mm spacer which sucked. I am glad I got rid of my cast wheels as I saw a cracked one and don't want that to happen to me. Titan 7 is a forged wheel that is super light. 21 lbs per wheel. My old cast wheels were 31 lbs.

That looks like a great setup. I would have went that route 4 years ago if they were available, have the alcons and love them. Interested to see the wilwood rear setup.
