    Ballistic Fab parking brake.

    This was a kit that Ballistic only sold for a short time. I made many changes for this to work on my truck. This fit on an extra cab V6 5 speed truck, if your t-case is in a different location in relation to the parking brake arm on the frame it will take some adjustments to make work.

    The C that holds the caliper was beefed up to keep it from spreading and the adapter arm was made out of Stainless and CNC formed to clear the fuel lines under the cab.

    All the hardware is included that I used to install.

    The factory parking brake frame mount pivot is included, the 5/16 rod is currently installed in it.

    You will have to remove the output flange on your t-case to install the disc from the back side.

    Once adjusted properly it held the truck very well. The current lever ratio it pulls just like the factory parking brake does. I have a few DXF files for different motion ratios if you wanted to experiment with it.

    I up sized the heim's and rods to 5/16 stainless.

    The disc is stainless and has plenty of life left.

    The caliper is used and the pads are roughly 50%, a replacement caliper is cheap and easy to find.

    Located in Thornton, CO

    $150 Can ship on your dime.

    Tempting...my e-brake is looser than a $3 hooker no matter how much I tighten it. Wonder if this would solve that problem

    This is a genius idea for guys with tundra rear axles instead of having to figure out different parts to make it work like I had to do.
