Yes I did all the install myself and the only issue I had or concern should I say was the bolts used to hold the caliper onto the caliper bracket were not the same as the instruction/item list (the normal octagon bolt) they we're 8 pin bolt (I believe that's they name) and I had to go get a special socket besides that from I had no issues with install it was a very basic rotor and caliper change

The l stability disable light came on because when lowering the rear after install was complete I over turned the jack and the rear body was a inch off the floor but the code was cleared from the shop and never came back on

As soon as I have an email from you, I will get you the POC for Wilwood. But they won't be able to help you with your BAER problem.

You remember the code? Did the shop take care of the problem, or just clear the code?

I believe just cleared because I was never charged for no additional work besides bleeding. I have never had a problem with the stability since then. The brakes were working fine just days ago I drive the truck for a week stright no issues and out of now where after sitting for 4 days I get this problem.

When did you replace the pads on the rears? Sounds like there is a caliper issue on them, if they are the ones clamping.

I replaced the rear pads the same time I did the front BBk upgrade after awhile I noticed a burning pad smell from the right rear only so I replaced both calipers and everything's was good for about 200miles then today's issue

What calipers did you put on? BAER replacements? You might want to start double checking that install, sounds like your problem is somewhere within there....your rears should not be clamping like that!

Going out on a limb here, but your BAER BBK should not have OEM calipers on them. You should call BAER and see what they say. Your issue is in the rear, as they are clamping when they shouldn't. Did you use all the same lines and just replace the calipers? That is probably the issue.

Double check you bled your rears correctly:

And did you also bed your pads after install?
