    My calipers were the original Aisin Advics 60-25 with a single brake piston.
    Are there any calipers that fit without any changes on the original mounting points with double pistons?
    These brakes are so spongy and undersized. Even a small improvement would be so nice...

    I know this is old, but Might I interest you in trying some stainless braided lines?

    I did it on my 07, it was a slight improvement, nothing major, but it at least made the sponge feeling much less. I think I saw someone theorize that with our older trucks the rubber lines get to the point where they dialate a bit more under pressure, so over time they give a bit more perceptible squish feel. Whether that's true or I just am operating under the placebo effect, it did stop me from worrying about it.

    Got a lot of stuff lol
    So I've been looking into what can fit under our 15" rim (going bigger there's more options) and I think I've found a 2 piston caliper that will fit after alittle bit of spacing. I plan to swap my rotors and pads first and then see if the 2 pistons make a difference.

    Here is a couple of pictures from me mocking up
