14" front d60 brake upgrade, and rear too.

anyone done the 2009 up dodge 3500 dual piston caliper and rotor upgrade? im curious what master cylinder would suffice, torq axle is making brackets, the caliper also needs to be sourced with its own bracket, hub will need to be turned to clearance rotor id, I think hydraulic lines stay stock, calipers are same for 2wd also. wheel clearance will also be an issue. im in the long term process of fabbing rear dual piston inner e-brake rears too, my mock adapter has studs through d70 axle flange, 1-1/4" spacer to studs through caliper bracket. e-brake drum is deep and requires offset. im still using vacuum booster ad hoping not to go hydraboost.

Pictures and more info on this would be great.

Which is probably obvious.

Just another obvious point, 17"+ wheels would need to be used
