Im going to replace my front calipers but not sure which ones to go with. Do i get the 7500lb gvw ones or the 8000lb gvw ones. I thought the calipers were the same between the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks??? The difference is that the piston is bigger on the 8000 ones. Could i out the bigger ones on as an up-grade? Ive got the dana 60 of course.
Now, when i do replace the calipers and put the brake lines back on, is there any special way to bleed the brakes?? Ive heard horror storys of bleeding abs equipped vehicles. Mine only has rear ABS. TIA
Also, im getting the rotors turned. Do i have to take the hub of the rotor to do so? Ive alreay got the assembly off the truck.

 

I thought the 2500 trucks were 8800#gvw. If it were me I would put the biggest ones on that will fit. I just like to be able to stop when some little girl that just got her license pulls out in front of me with her little Neon while she is talking on her cell phone.

The rotors can be turned with the hub attached but I wouldn't turn them unless they are scored. There is no reason to, it just reduces the life of the rotor. If the rotor is warped just buy new ones, the warp will be back shortly after turning.
Use the 8k calipers.
No big deal bleeding, start with the furthest wheel but don't bleed anything under the hood if you didn't mess with it. This is where abs bleeding problems occur if the correct procedure isn't followed.
