Black Rock Fab makes brackets for both Dodge 2500 calipers and Ford F750 calipers. I have a set of the Dodge ones on order. Axles are 1500lbs and 1300lbs with the air calipers. They weigh 1100 and 900 with the Dodge calipers

No, but a trussed D60 weighs almost as much and isn't as strong

I suppose I would be running a pinion brake since its not on the road, would save one disc/calipers worth of weight. Last edited by rednuck; 01/25/16 12:37 AM.
