What about the calipers, rotors and brake lines? They're all GM applications.
(and I'm sorry, I now remember we've had this discussion before!)

Any chance that this upgrade would also potentially apply to my Advanced 4x4 conversion which appears to be a Kingpin D60 with Chevy outers (8 x 6.5") and RSC (2008)??

I'll be in the shop the next couple of days. Heading back to Baja by the end of the week, I think.
We don't have the brackets in hand yet and are still working on the design - looking for the most cost effective solution.

Re: STOP!!!
I would like to be on the list as well. Brakes are in my near future, I would prefer them to be improved.

Re: STOP!!!
I went to Ramsey's shop last week to check out the brake upgrade....he has prototypes on a few rigs there. Looks like it's a similar upgrade for Advanced 4WD conversions as well; I'm planning on doing this upgrade once we figure out the caliper stand mods required......waiting for Ramsey to get back in town.

Re: STOP!!!
I have a 2008 Quigley and I know at that time all of the vans were installed with Ford front axles. I took photos while I was there. When did they start using GM parts on Fords? Everything on my axle is available right out of the Ford Parts Catalog.
