Let's keep your feet on the ground... brakes

 

buy a lift. use the e brake.

i would get a caliper from paul grant do you need rotors or just pads? if you get the caliper from paul and new pads thats not too much $

 

even a lifted truck will NEED to stop, FWIW....I just got calipers from NAPA for $55.ea (after core charge). I " lifted" mine in stages...did the rear first , then a few weeks later..did the front. Your stock shocks are ok for up to a 2" lift, you could do the rear shocks later....but obviously you might want to do the front shocks @ the same time as the frt springs.

did you get the gaiters installed ??

 

Brakes! knucklehead.

 

Go out for ice cream. It always helps me with the tough decisions.

 

not a doughnut this time?

 

Donuts are normal everyday food. Ice cream is for making decisions. Gotta have order in life.

 

I'm ordering brakes.
Slotted rotors and ceramic pads off of e-bay for $272 shipped.
My front rotors are warped so yes I need to replace them.
After talking to our mechanic at work he said I can fix my bad caliper, the guide pins are frozen, the right rear is only grabbing the inside of the rotor, the front of it is covered in rust because the caliper will not move enough for the brake pad to contact the rotor.
Take it off, free it up, never seize and put it back.
I already have a extra set of calipers that I bought used but they are in no better shape than mine, but they were only $50.
My pads are still good, life time warranty so I hate to replace them, but its $220 just for rotors at AutoZone so why not spend the extra $50 and get new pads too?
I guess its a good thing I never got the shipping quote for the springs I was going to order.

 

Way to be responsible, you old guys sure make us young guys look bad :P
