From what I read you can only do the 2500 swap on 2wd.

Go over to fullsizechevy and search. I know som guys have done the swap over there.

Heat up the caliper (oxyacetylene or even propane), then cool it with some water (supersoaker works best). The metal will expand and contract, and break free. If you still have something to grab hold of, you should be golden.

THEY DONT FIT!!!!!lol

tried yesterday a little to big!!!

Installed the 2500 calipers
pad is a little bit bigger as so is piston ... Piston hangs out about 1/4" out of the caliper so I dont know how much braking diff is really there....

Over all BRakes GOOD.
