15's went on the front w/ no problem. On back I ground the calipers on a big belt sander. I started w/ a hand grinder but didn't like the results. I took off as much as I thought reasonable and still had clearance problems so I slotted the bolt holes in the calipers and made inserts to take up the slack. That dropped 'em down enough so the wheels would clear. I had to turn down the outside of the rotors a little to get clearance there as well.

Wow, that sounds pretty involved! Do you have any pics? You could probably start a new thread or even do a write up on this, because I know there are several people intersted in doing this. Good job!

Grey Silver - Any pics of what you did to the back brake calipers? I can host them if you got some.

Has there been an all motor 6.0L in the 11s yet? What will it take to get there from where I'm at?

Damn, might as well say completely new setup. Oh, well, I've been doubted on hitting 12s before. I need to bring up that post where I was telling about my setup, and see how people told me I would be in the 13s.
If there's any way possible for this truck to get into the 11s on motor, I'm going to find a way to do it. I just need someone to tell me I won't be able to.

seems to me you are doing awsume with that 6.0. it is hard to imiagne there is that much more left in it without going radical(big cam and stall, less driveable and less fun on the street).

i know you said NA but that thing is just begging for a 100shot

Sweet time, I was calculating my et to be somewhere in that range but wasn't positively sure it could be done. Thanks for clearing everything up for me.

By the way, did you do this with stock injectors? I didn't see anything mentioning injectors.
