Brake Upgrade

Understood, thanks for the reply. So is it the part of the caliper that faces outward that has the issue clearing the inside of the wheel spokes?

That and clearing the knuckle

Any feedback on the performance of these baer brakes? Is it a big improvement over stock brakes?

Absolutely amazing! The few weeks we have had these brakes on we have put them through some serious hard braking just to see if there was any substantial fading and they performed flawlessly!

Very cool! Just another thing to add to my upgrade wish list.

Blam.....

they fit and stop like crazy..... what I have been looking for for ever

Did price go up? What about the rears?

Not sure on the price.. You would have to ask RPG or TMX.

The prototype for the rears is finished and they are doing final testing now... Should be any time now...

Awesome! The stock brakes on this truck along with 37s has me in the market for better binders

On SDHQ's website, they have this warning for their stainless steel brake line kit:

Some 2013+ Raptors use a different brake line configuration from Ford with the one-piece hard line to fixed hard line on the rear axle. The one-piece hard line does not come apart!*

Has anyone ran into this problem? I assume it means this kit won't work on some trucks.

A buddy did the lines on his 2014 and had that problem. I think he ended up buying a new hard line and replaced it during his upgrade after he broke his trying to disassemble it.
