Brackets
General Motors added an extra few pounds of torque to their trucks, leading to the need for larger brakes. Thankfully, several companies offer modern-day big-brake conversion kits that bolt directly onto your existing rear axle.
These brackets are the right length to support a large rotor and caliper, but they’re not designed to hold an actual wheel. In order to maximize braking power, you need an adjustable brake-proportioning valve like this Wilwood unit – an inexpensive yet easy-to-install accessory. Unfortunately, it won’t fit on any early generation ’98-99 Chevy or GMC pickup trucks (with 10″ drums) nor 1992-2000 SUVs.
Calipers
SSBC-USA offers premium brake kits with bolt-on installation for improved braking performance and an attractive appearance. These kits are the ideal way to boost braking power and spruce up the look of your vehicle at the same time!
Our 1998 Chevy Silverado 1500 rear disc brake conversion kit features American-made billet aluminum calipers with drilled and slotted designs for improved stopping power. Plus, these 12 inch turbo slotted rotors give off superior stopping power as well as an aggressive look.
The caliper mounting brackets require either cast-iron or formed steel support to keep the caliper stable and prevent it from twisting. This prevents thrust movement with respect to the rotor, helping maintain proper pad alignment.
