I bought new pins and bushings for the front with the new pads. lubed them up with never seize. On one of the old calipers, the piston would not open up all the way (i.e. caliper with new pads would not go on the rotor). So I was forced to buy a new caliper (I replaced both instead of just 1).

I am talking about the 10 lb residual valve. its not a big deal leaving it in on a trail truck, but I don't want the brakes dragging on a street vehicle. if its in the ABS unit, i'll get the drums fixed.

I wouldn't install a 2500HD set-up. I would install the ORD brackets with Eldorado calipers. I have the 3/4 ton rotors sitting on a GM dana 60 front than I never ended up using.

I never thought about a bent backing plate.........
