- Billet dust caps

Before you buy
A front brake swap on a C1500 is tied closely to the front suspension. Drop spindles change the geometry of the knuckle, so the spindle setup, rotor position and hub should be sorted out together before the truck is driven. Shops often check caster, camber and the steering arm during this kind of job.
Billet hubs and sealed bearings are worth inspecting every time the wheels come off. Look for play in the hub, grease leaking past the seal, and uneven pad wear that can point to a binding caliper. Keep the dust caps in place to limit debris and moisture reaching the bearing.
- Confirm the spindle setup before mounting
- Check hub play after installation
- Replace worn hoses rather than reusing them

Installation notes
The fitment notes call for React 2 inch drop spindles, so verify the front suspension setup matches before mounting. Use the Q117H template to check wheel clearance, since the rotor is designed for wheels 17 inch and larger.
