Pirate Jacks disc brake conversion kits

The ball joint adaptor sleeves have been around a long time. Not saying they're the BEST option, but DoctorDiff has been selling them for years. They do work for those that can't swing a full brake and UCA conversion at the same time. Obviously it's better to go with large ball joint UCA's in the long run. And I know DoctorDiff has posted here before saying he has SBP rotor options for his kits.

As far as price shopping, make sure you're comparing like to like. DoctorDiff's kits all come with Timken wheel bearings and seals, good quality hoses etc. The PirateJack stuff looks like it comes with the cheapest stuff they can get ahold of. And of course, Cass at DoctorDiff has a long history in the Mopar community and GREAT customer service. Personally I think it's worth some extra money just to know you can call the guy and get help if you have an issue.

Gotcha on all points. I understand that Dr. Diff has quality parts. I was just sharing that I have no real concerns with what I got from Pirate Jack. Outside of my saga with the UCA's (that actually came from PST), my only other gripe was the brake lines because I installed the calipers rearward. I ended up tossing out the Pirate Jack lines and ordered the stainless lines for rear mounted calipers from Cass. But on balance, the Pirate Jack kit worked and was not particularly expensive.
