Hey Chris, I have them on mine. Mine are actually from BC Broncos, the kit came with the axle when I bought it. If I were to do it again, I'd piece together my own stuff as it's pretty basic. The basics are the brake caliper brackets, calipers (1/2 ton chevy fronts or cadillac rears w/parking brake), and rotors. Get the loaded calipers so everything is included there. You'll probably need some new brake lines, wheel studs, and a few nuts/bolts to wrap it all up. Getting yourself stuff should save you close to a couple hundred dollars over buying a complete kit from someplace. The calipers and rotors are the least expensive from Checker (and I've shopped a lot). The caliper brackets are offered by quite a few places. I got my brake lines/fittings from Lopers here in town. Oh yeah, I also got a new proportioning valve dealie from FROR.
