@jellyhead Was that a pretty easy conversion? Specifically the caliper brackets and parking brake stuff. Thanks.

unless you upgrade piston numbers or size of your calaper or rotor should be as simple as changeing your own brakes and rotors.. with the addition of seperating your old calaper from your brake line and screwing in your new ones and bleeding them

The front was very easy, once I installed the durango front spindles, everything else just bolted on normally. The rear wasn't that easy, since I used the whole rear axle from a 2003 durango I needed to remove the spring perches and shock mounts and weld them on the other side of the axle. The ebrake was kind of a challenge. I was able to use the durango left side cable but it needed to be modified. I had to make clevice to use the original dakota right side cable because the durango housing was way too long. I also needed to cut the cables and use a ferrule tool to get the cables to the proper length.

The rears were more cosmetic than an actual upgrade. most of the improvement in braking was due to the dual piston durango front calipers

2003 Disc brake upgrade/comparison. Pulled this set up off a 2003 Dakota R/T in a junkyard. Paid $372 for everything. So far the front has bolted right on, and the rear should as well since it came off a Dakota R/T and is going onto a Dakota R/T.

Side by side rotor comparison. the slotted/crossdrilled rotor is what I had on my '00.


2000 rotor stacked on top of 2003 rotor.


caliper comparison. single piston 2000 to dual piston 2003


and old slotted/cross drilled rotors behind my wheels(from Ebay)


2003 rotors/calipers behind my wheels


and my 15" wheel with my slicks test fit on the rear axle to check clearance(not installed on truck yet)
