The NNBS rears are a 13.6" rotor with a single piston caliper. The NBS SUV rears are a 13" rotor with a dual piston caliper.

Good to know thank you! Got any ideas on a 4 piston rear setup or something that looks better for less than $2k?

I really don't think there is one for the rears. The NNBS/K2XX rears have a 13.6 rotor with a single piston caliper (if not drums). The NBS SUVs have the 13" rotor with a 2 piston caliper. Baer makes a 2 piston floating caliper with a 14" rotor that uses dodge something pads for about $1500, (which doesn't seem worth it). I think for the rears if you want big you have to go wilwood or brembo for a few grand. I wouldn't put those on without the biggest of brake kits in the front, or you know you'll be fishtailing.

The 2021s are using a rotor thats the same 13.6", but has about an inch bigger hat size. If you wanted to do the legwork, they MIGHT have a better caliper, but then you will have to see if the newer rotors will work. The newer rotors will sit that "about an inch" deeper in. I really think your factory brakes are the best option.

I say get the NNBS rotors and calipers, iirc someone did test and say they had a bit better heat dissipation and brake stoppage

That pretty much the conclusion I came to.

Ehh if they don't look any cooler then its not worth it IMO this truck stops fine I just like the blingidy blingidy ****.


Also, I confirmed the previous front brakes were 12" rotors so that's OEM style NBS brakes but probably a powertop kit since the rotors were drilled and slotted.
