my rear brakes grab everyonce in a while, but i have a bad brake cylinder on the right rear, so that's prob my culprit.

Has anyone here ever bought the pre-bent stainless steal hardlines from lmc? i do have a tiny leak in one of my hardlines and wanted to see if it was worth it to fork out alittle money for these.

I know for a fact that Dodge trucks have a 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern just like the 87-96 F-150s. I'm not sure when they started using disc brakes but a rear rotor from one of those should fit. I think there are some Jeeps that will match up too; Grand Cherokees if I remember correctly.

I know it's old thread but, the dodge rotors will require a 17" wheel. And it's not machined for the internal Ebrake assembly from an Explorer. F150 front rotor is 11.72" in diameter. The Dodge rear rotor is13.86 so no way a 15" wheel will work. I'm just starting to research this for my truck and a few others, possibly looking at a kit. Best bet right now is the FRPP rear brake kit, but I gotta see what size it'll take. Yes the rotors are wrong bolt pattern, but a machine shop and redrill them for cheap. From what my sources are telling me, these are factory Explorer parts. List is $379 from Ford, but does not include cables, or hoses. Mustang calipers have an external Ebrake on them and much cheaper than the GM ones. Mustang rear rotor is .5" smaller than the F150 front rotor, but the car weighs 1400lbs less than our trucks, so not sure they're up to the task, especially those with 33's.
Anyone got any bright ideas?
