Any Brake Difference between 1500 & 2500?

[Perry]

Is there any brake differences between the 99+ 1500 and 2500? I know they take a different brake pad, but other than that is there any rotor or caliper differences?

 

Thanks,

Perry

Most if not all of the parts are different.

Were you looking for a brake upgrade using OE parts?

[Perry]

I wasn't really thinking about upgrading using 2500 parts, but I wouldn't rule it out either. I just mostly wanted to know what the differences were? Bigger rotors or calipers? Or just set up differently? Just curious, that's all. But if I were to do a swap in the future (since the seed is planted), what would I need to complete the swap? The rotor, caliper, and the piece that holds the caliper to the rotor? Anything else?

 

Thanks,

Perry

It is a total brake system replacement, mainly. The 2500 also has a heftier booster.

the 1500 brakes are vaccum assisted while the 2500 is hydraulic assisted
