    Hey folks... purchased a 97 and I live in Minnesota so I took it to Discount tire and bought some new AT and wheels. Well long story short they had three on my truck but couldnt get the drivers side on because the brake caliper was bigger.

    They said it looked after market (which is possible I guess on a 20 yr old truck), so i purchased a used OEM on Ebay and honestly it looks eerily similar to the one i already have.

    My question to you guys....Is the drivers side brake caliper on a 1st gen just flat out bigger then the passenger side brake caliper? Anyone encounter this?

    They should be the same size L and R. Maybe one of the 4 wheel had a different backspacing???
