[QUOTE="redneckengineered, post: 697729, member: 503"] Looks exactly like the stock SD 05+ 250/350 calipers I'm running. Can I take a minute to rant like a **** head? Ok. This thread should be a case study in marketing 101 on how not to release a new product. I really don't want to knock ole Gubni, he's just trying to bring a needed product to market. His kits are usually the ****, they're well built and cheap, and I've used them on multiple builds but this is a gigantic cluster ****. There's basically 3 reasons for having a "kit" for these axles. The factory stuff is huge and heavy. So, we're talking weight savings, overall size, and if you want to add a cherry on top offer the parts in 8x6.5 for an upcharge. So, if you're trying to bring a kit to market I would think you would start with some basic pictures of the components, pictures of the components assembled, a weight savings figure, and some side by side shots of the size difference between the factory stuff and the kit parts. I don't think that's asking too much, especially considering you're trying to sell this kit to as many people as possible and make a profit. A little extra planning on the front end would have gone a long way here. This stuff isn't cheap, I'm not going to shell out $400+ to save 3lbs on parts with virtually no additional info on what I'm actually buying. Rant off. [/QUOTE]
