Canadian Army (Retired)That’s disappointing. Do you do a lot of heavy towing? How were the fronts? Fronts should technically wear down first unless you’re towing a lot. Nice upgrade though, looks awesome!

These flares are made by Tyger - several dealers sell these under their name. They look good installed - but are a pain to install so the look right. They are available at Amazon or Ebay for around $150.00.
I have the J&L oil catch can. I lubed the o-rings before installation. just because the directions said so. haha

I have to admit the hose from J&L looks very similar to the one I used from UPR but that UPR had locking sleeves for the hoses that connect to the catch can.I have the J&L oil catch can. I lubed the o-rings before installation. just because the directions said so. haha
I messaged them about my problem and they had a replacement coming within 5-10 min. just had to send a couple of pictures.

Actually, i tow a camper often that weighs around 6k lbs, trailer brake equipped etc. the fronts are probably half life or better. I’ll be upgrading those as well. I honestly think it could be something going on with the electric motors for the parking brakes not completly disengaging all the time or something possibly all the time. I see others have had similar issues.
I tow around 6k lbs regularly. Trailer brake equipped on camper etc though and they function properly. It’s the inner pad that is shot. Outers not nearly as bad. Everything functions properly etc. I think it could be partially related to these electric abs motors not totally disengaging sometimes.
rotors were warped pretty bad as well. Stops SOOOOO Much better with this setup. Looking forward to swapping fronts.
My theory is that the softer suspension that comes with these Trail Boss's is causing the truck to squat forward harder while braking versus Silverado's with the firmer suspension (non-Trail Boss's), which is causing more wear on those front brakes. Or, GM was just cheap with these brakes lol.
i like how these delete the mudflaps...mine keep the rears, which i am not a fan of...but they now match in color and texture and i have them on.
They are a bit of a PIA to change out. One of the nuts is inside the bumper and you can barely touch it. You have to take the steps off the end of the bumper and work blind with your hand in a tight spot. An air ratchet is the way to go if you have one.
This 10mm ratcheting swivel head made easy work of the bolts inside the bumper after I took the corner steps off
