Ok so first off , yes I have already used the search option and couldn't find the answers I needed

So don't hate participate

I have a 97 3500 and just ordered a set of MMW 3/4 ton conversion arms and need to know what brakes and calipers and tie rod adjusters I'm gonna need, wasnt sure if the brakes and calipers are from same year just 3/4 ton or if I need something else, also are the replacement rotors compatible with the bell tech drop spindles I have?

Hopefully someone that's done the conversion can chime in and help a poor white kid from Canada out

Thanks in advance

I'm not certain on a 97 but for my square body (87) I needed 3/4 rotors, 1ton calipers, brake pads to work with bell tech drop spindles 3/4 ton and 1 ton wheels bearings, ball joints are same.....not entirely sure about tie rod ends but I would assume 1ton

There is no difference. I went ahead and replaced my calipers and brake pads and the 3/4 ton rotors. I also replaced the bearings inner and outer. I used the same year Chevy I just went to auto zone and asked for C2500 parts. Everything will line up. Have you had any problems with you MMW control arms?

On mine I had to replace calipers as well, the srw rotors were thinner and my drw factory calipers wouldnt squeeze enough to stop the truck without over extending the pistons and leaking.
