Are The RH & LH Front Caliper brackets the same?

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a LH & RH front caliper bracket or can they be mounted on either side. I am having an issue with my front brakes and posted a help thread. I want to double check, but I think I have 2 LH caliper brackets mounted on my truck if there's a difference. Is the shorter clip suppose to be on the bottom or the top? On my LH side it is on the bottom & on my RH side it is on the top meaning I have the same bracket on both sides. I have owned the truck for over 5 years and it has worked, but I want to make sure if it is correct or not. I also checked eBay for brackets and someone is selling some used ones, but they too are exactly what I have.

Any advice would be very helpful.
Thanks, Brandon

the best way to find out is to get part numbers from the dealer or a parts store

Left and right cannot be swapped, and are different part numbers. If you took them off and tried to switch them, you'd quickly find that the knuckle mounting bolts are on the wrong side.

I'll try and find your other thread. I'd attach a link to it if I were you.
