No my brackets won't work for your application and what you are trying to do. I can make some but its kind of hard to do without the rear end assembly in front of me. The axle flange dimensions on the 14 bolt would be different than the 8.5/8.6" rear ends. Also the wilwoods mount completely different than the K1500 calipers do .

The crappy thing is I'm a CNC machinist by trade and could very easily make whatever kind of brackets I would need if I just knew what dimensions to make them to and was able to use one of my shops mills for a "Government Job". My shop is so freaking corporate it wouldn't even be worth getting busting for making something for my truck though.

Wilwood makes a bunch of different calipers that mount several different ways with several different rotor thicknesses. I bet they have something that maybe wouldn't bolt directly to your brackets but something that would just need a different bolt pattern, which from a manufacturing standpoint wouldn't be difficult to change at all for any decent machinist.

I would just get the rotor and caliper you plan on running, and measure away with the rotor bolted up to your rear end. Obviously some brackets would be easy to make for you.

Do you by any chance know what the measurement from the center line of the axle to outer most point of a caliper can be to clear most 15" wheels ?

are you sure about this? I think the '02+ 10 bolt and 6 lug 14 bolt are the same. 1fastbrick would know the answer.

So the 14 bolts don't have bigger axle tubes than the dinky 10 bolt? And the axle flange bolt holes are 3-5/16" center to center?

The late model AXN 14 bolt is a hybrid. 9.5" center section 10 bolt axle bearing.

Here's your verification.

Good deal. Looks like it would work as long as you have the late model NBS 14 bolt. I think atomic mentioned in his thread the older 14 bolt axle flanges are about 2.5" too close to the center to mount our brakes to.

These brackets work great. Brakes take no grinding with racestar wheels. Ive got around 1/2" clearance.

Yes if you made a spacer they would work on early 14 bolt too.
