If your looking to upgrade your rotors and calipers you will only find SSBC for our Rams. You can get Baer rotors but not the calipers. Just be sure you know what you are ordering from SSBC because I thought I was getting the really nice power coated calipers and got some plane jane looking ones. For the money I spent I should have gotten a better looking pair but I will just paint them anyways. About 2 grand for front and back!

Actually I did request for them to be power coated red but for some reason they did not do it? I paid for the powercoat but they gave me a refund on them. I was pissed off because it took them 4 months to send me everything because my order got lost or something. I really like the Force 10 calipers but they are the same price as the big brake kit that I bought and you only get the calipers. They look nice but you still have to buy rotors etc.





I've still got a lot of grinding left to do to the calipers before I'm happy with them. I keep getting dust in my eyes so it's slowing down the process

Here is a link to the brakes. I put it for a 1994 Ram but it should be the same for yours too.

http://ssbrakes.com/products/search/Dodge/Ram_1500_(2WD)/1994


Front Brakes Part Number: A158-2

Rear Disc KIT: A158

I don't know how much of an improvement they are because I don't have them installed yet. But I know that the stock brakes on these Rams suck so I know it can only get better!

I ordered mine from truckperformance.com

Since your going with a 22/24 combo you at least need the disc in the back.

Baer Brakes are the best I just put some on my 2006 chevy on 22"s and they are awsome, they are drilled and powder coated 6 piston calipers with drum conversion to disk in rear and they work great

We can't get Baer brake kits for our Rams other wise I would have gotten them They only make the rotors and not the calipers.

You could always get a big brake kit from Brembo with 17" rotors for $3,200 for our Dodge's!
