I think the wider rear track from the cutaway axle is desirable. It'll pretty much a 4x4 front axle anyways, without the need to adapters. I went ahead and put adapters on my dad's 2wd van, for extra...

2000's did. I think it start in '97 but through '99 was drum brakes. So for disc brakes, '99-'02 might be the only years. And possibly only in extended wagons.

The caliper should be symmetric. L vs R only changes which end has tire bleeder pre installed. If the bleeder is on the wrong end you should be able to just swap it with the brake line.

Yeah, bleed the whole system. Being open that long can introduce more moisture than desired, and eventually it mixes into all the fluid.

Of course, look for fluid on the rotors too. All of the...

Nope, nothing special required. Where did you source the axle from? Are you sure you don't have a leaky piston seal? If it was sitting a long time, especially without fluid, the piston seals could be...

Shenrie - it looks like the F and E-series calipers are the same, but the caliper brackets are not.

Also, the F-series calipers come in 3 flavors. Only the F450 gets 2.36" pistons which is the...

^ To add on to the Sterling thread... Instead of shortening the driveline, you could also just install F-series springs, which will move the axle back about an inch. Just might need to do a little...

Pretty sure that's an AAM axle from a Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500. It is a disc brake axles, does not look like a dually (hub is too short). If it is, the bolt pattern is the same, but hub size is smaller...

The newer calipers are larger, with bigger pistons. All of them old and new are dual piston. But the larger calipers don't flex as much. I'm not aware that they are a simple bolt-on swap for the...

-Full floats can handle adapters no problem. I use 4" adapters on my original Dana 70 as part of the dually conversion. Been on for over 300,000 miles.
