i have the AAJ kit on the front of my truck and the Scarebird on the rear. i also have a Wilwood master cylinder (the mopar one leaked so much) and a wilwood proportioning valve.
the brake really stop the truck now. no fuss. no fade.
if i had more room i would have put in a power booster but the big block gets in the way. if funds get better i may still go with a hydro booster.
cost for the front was around $500 complete and the rear was a touch more since the rear calipers are a little more money.
i strongly encourage anyone who plans on actually driving these trucks to at least install front disc with a proportioning valve. if you go four wheel disc be sure to split the system and consider a proportioning valve is probably optional.
