Page 2 of 2  The SSBC Tri-Power caliper is bolted up to the caliper bracket with the pads loaded, and it is almost ready to rip. |  To supply the juice to the new binders a brake line fitting is installed on the backside of the caliper, delivering the fluid for maximum clamping force. |  A nice set of braided stainless steel brake lines from IMZZ industries finishes the front system off nicely. Our installer hooks the line up at the caliper fitting. |  Here is a shot of the SSBC front system in all its glory. This should stop the 43-inch tall tires slated to go under this truck. |  In the rear of this 2500 the stock brakes lacked luster as well. About a half-hour and a small collection of tools would fix that. |  The first step was to unbolt the caliper and caliper bracket and remove them. |  The caliper was removed to extract the old, worn pads to make way for the Hawk Performance pads. |  The stock pads were removed from the caliper bracket. |  Next, the new SSBC replacement rear rotor was installed over the studs in place of the stock rotor. |  The piston in the rear caliper was compressed to enable the new Hawk Performance brake pads to be loaded. |  The hardware on the stock caliper was buzzed back up. |  With the pads and caliper bracket in place, the caliper was reinstalled over the rotor, a lap was taken with the impact, and we were off to the races. |
 Here is the finished rear with the fresh SSBC slotted, plated and vented rotor, complete with new brake pads. We bled the brakes, topped off the master cylinder, and hit the road. The clamping force of the SSBC unit should really help with all driving chores.
