Default Brakes?

Without looking at the truck, how would I know if I have 1 or 2 piston rear calipers on my 03' Silverado 4x4

oh yeah, its a Z71. I wonder if that makes the difference.

I looked at them all...went with BAER cause SUPERSUB was able to get a decent deal, and I'd heard their service was good. Both were dead right. Send a PM to SuperSub and tell him I gave u his name and see what he can do for ya. Nothing wrong with Wilwood either, but I was more comfortale that BAER had the better system once I found I cud get the 15" 2 piece rotors with 6 piston calipers. Spoke to a few who had them and they were pretty happy.
