If you look around you can save some money. I know the kit can be bought with everything for around 3000K I have been doing some searching and I have found some really good deals. I am saving up for the upgraded 15's and I am selling the rears brand new in the box $300 Just need to finish payment on the front calipers, need the front brackets, lines and to put them on..

How is your truck coming along?

make sure you tell everyone how much material you have to grind off of the calipers though...

There is some work involved to get the brackets JYD made to work properly.
Is that what you wanted to know TexasPainter? (JYD)

Where did the rotors come from (I noticed someone mentioned Baer) and what size rims do you have?

Well, it is a good thought. However, allot of the problem is actual rotor availability. When the brackets were initially designed, they were built around a fairly easily obtainable rotor. Take a good look at the pic’s with the 14" Powerslot's. The caliper is brought down as far as it could go without hitting the center hub. If a rotor could be found with a smaller dia. hub/hat, then the caliper brackets could be tweaked a little more, bringing the caliper in. Then slightly smaller wheels could even be used. I also went from the 14 incher's to the 15's and can honestly say, I wouldn't have it any other way now.
