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)??

Most likely.

OK, I'm in........

Ramsey, let me know when you are going to be in San Diego at your shop, I'll stop by to discuss further. (I live in OC and work in Sorrento Valley at the moment)

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.

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

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.

Very good info. I hope this project goes smoothly.

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.
