I have about 1,000 miles on them now and this is my experience:

At this point, I am definitely a fanboy of @TeraFlex brakes!!
I have about 300-400 miles on mine now and have experienced the same thing first hand. The more I drive it, the more I love these brakes.

Same...totally worth it. These are the brakes we should have had from the start.

Anyone know if 17in fifteen52 wheels would clear the brakes? Once I get 37s I have a feeling i’ll be wanting better brakes

Does anyone know if the Delta brake kit will fit the 392 non-XR wheels? Using the template it appears they won't fit. Looks like adding spacers will help but it still looks iffy. Thanks.

after reading all the positive comments I decided to get the Teraflex Delta Brake kit front and rear. Looking forward to installing these! I’ve never done a brake swap but I have above average mechanical ability so I’ll tackle this on my own.

Check all the parts and pieces are in the bags and in good shape. I had one of the thin long clips that hold the pad retaining pins come in two pieces. I have not found anything local that matches so I will need to get in touch with Teraflex. Right now I have two small cotter pins through the holes of the pad retainer pins on one caliper.

I honestly don't see why any 17" wheel wouldn't

I can see some wheels not working due to not enough backspace so I would use the template.

For your broken clip, check for a 2015 Toyota Tundra at any of the local parts stores.

thanks. I will certainly do that and check the parts list. Don’t want any surprises

You know, when I typed that out I thought about the back spacing and thought I had deleted that line about fitment. I will check on the Toyota parts. Thank You! I have never seen a clip and pin set up like this before. I love the brakes but I don't really care for the clip and pin system as the pads are allowed to move freely forward and aft as you apply brakes and they make noise. But as I said, I love the stopping power!

You can actually engage the antilock motor with the 40's now! It's a very odd feeling when the antilock kicks on. It feels like it actually pulls the pedal down on it's own.

Got the Tearaflex BBK installed today. Took 7 hours as I’m still recovering from hip replacement. This is my first ever brake job! Proud of myself. And they work. I think I need to do a second bleed to get a little more firmness in the pedal. I do notice a difference and am happy with the upgrade.

Nice work! Note that you need to do a bleed job with the ABS activated. If you have JSCAN, it makes it easy.
