Just bought this truck and it needs new front brakes and rotors.

2005 Ram 2500 5.7 v8 SB 4wd with a lift with front and back winches and brake assist

The bad ones do not have heavy duty/towing drilled/slotted holes in them.
If I install new Power Stop Z36 rotors and brake pads, do I need to also buy the new calipers or
is it OK to use the old ones that are already on there?

If I do not install new calipers, is there a bigger chance of something horrible happening during the install?
Wrong parts, parts don't fit the new rotor or brake pads, missing hardware, etc.
This will be the first time that I will install these things on a beast like this.

Thanks

you dont have to replace calipers ,but, if yours are original to the truck it might be a good idea to replace them with that kind of age to them,why get into it twice?

I always replace everything because I do not want to mess with it again.
If I do not replace everything, the Auto Repair Gods get angry and make me redo what I already did and add what I should have done.

Then again, I;m knocking on 60.
Saving a few bucks vs saving effort and knuckle skin is a no brainer.

It's a great kit...when you can find it. Bought a kit about 6 months ago, cost just under 1k.
