SSBC Brake Kit Installation

Ever wonder just how many Truckin' cover models roll around with stock brakes? The number is quite low, hovering somewhere in the ballpark of 0-5-percent. There are many reasons to make the upgrade to more efficient braking equipment, simple cosmetics is one but in the case of this month's cover truck, performance, as well as physical appearance, were both in high-demand.

SSBC performance brake systems sent our cover truck a care package in the way of new 14-inch, vented rotors and larger three-piston calipers for the front of the Extended Cab Silverado. The upgrade will bring the fullsize Chevy to a stop quicker and safer, which is of utmost concern given the heavy, large-diameter 24-inch chrome wheels bolted onto the hubs. Braking with confidence is worth its price in gold, and fortunately, the SSBC brakes don't break the bank.
