BUDGET FRONT DISC BRAKES BY JAMES DUFF – DANA 30 & 44

Getting tired of ALMOST not stopping in time? Hate driving in the rain not knowing what your drum front brakes will do next? Do you wish there was a low-cost disc brake option for your Bronco that doesn’t require sourcing unknown parts from the local auto parts store and uses the factory drum spindle, hub, and bearings?

Well, look no further! That kit does exist and it is here and proudly offered by James Duff! Check out the videos below to review the kit contents, options, and how it is installed.

No need to go to the auto parts store and guess which model to buy replacement parts from, James Duff offers the replacement pads, rotors, calipers, and caliper brake lines. These parts are exclusively available through James Duff only. Enjoy the benefit of a one-stop shop that gets your parts right, the first time. Availability and lead times vary. There can be a 1-2 week lead time for replacement parts.
