Some background; I have a 2007 Fx4 lvl2 and as such already have the 12" rotors in the front, I'm switching to the 16" wheel found on the off-road as the 15" load range C KO2 (31x10.5r15LT) give the truck a lot of side to side movement (I can move the bed about half a foot side to side if I shake it real good). I also plan on doing the rear disk conversion.
My questions are:
1, is there anything larger than the 12" rotors that will fit under the oem 16" wheels or do I already have the best available?
2, when switching to rear disks is it necessary to also change the master cylinder? (2007-2009 is listed as a different part number than 2010-2011, the only clear difference being the connection sizes)
Following up to these two questions; in my research, EBC Yellow have repeatedly come up as a simple solution but an increased rotor size would be preferable.
For the sake of glaze prevention I've enjoyed running directional StopTech slotted rotors (undrilled). As a recent purchase, I've yet to make ether addition to the truck (EBC, wheel size change, nor disk conversion)
