Brake upgrade!!!!
Dudes...and Ramnyou,
I am in need of new brakes up front (95 2500). My wheels are 17 inchers off of a 2006, so can I upgrade my front brakes to the drilled and slotted brakes meant for 17 inch wheels like the ones the 2006 2500's came with? If so, you guys know of a good place to get some?
Thanks,
Me

You won't be able to get bigger rotors on without major modification and imho drilled rotors are a bad idea for our trucks, drilling leads to stress points and they tend to warp easier. If you want a better rotor go with a slotted cryo tempered rotor. These are the ones that I have on my truck. http://www.buybrakes.com/store/EBC-GD7098 You can also upgrade the rear brake cylinders to the gm 1 ton cylinder, that alone makes a huge difference in braking.

Chevy/GM 1 ton pickup cylinders, NAPA part # 37337 - they're a larger bore than the Dodge cylinders and give you move braking power on the rears...
it's on my list of things to do, as well. It's a simple R&R, as I understand it.

coming soon: fuel plate, AFC mod, 3K GSK; coming someday: exhaust, turbo (somebody say "evil twins"?)

Last one of these I did was on my daughters' truck in my driveway without air tools. Total time start to finish was about one hour. You would not believe the difference.......
