I'm curious as to what's out there for brake upgrades for the 3500 trucks. Namely rear discs.

Who makes them and do they have a website???

EGR brakes has upgrade kevlar shoes and larger cylinders and also rear disk upgrader. http://www.egrbrakes.com/index-main.htm I have their carbon kevlar brakes and am very happy with them.

Hey Bruce....

How are your rotors holding up under the Kevlar? Heard that stuff is pretty hard on rotors....

 

Try replacing the rear wheel cylinders with GMC 1 ton cylinders (Napa #4637337) first and see if your impression of stopping power changes. I guarantee it will. For $12 each and an hour of your time it's one of the best modifications going. Don't tell the Napa guys what the part is or what it's going on or you will confuse them. Just a part number is enough. You can even order online by clicking here

The mod is described in more detail here-

Switching from a 27mm (stock Ram 3500) to a 30mm cylinder increases applied force area from 572.55mm^2 to 706.85mm^2.

That's over a 23% increase!

 

Thanks infidel - just verified the local NAPA has 'em in stock and am gonna pick up a pair on my way home tonight
