Tundra brake upgrade ?'s

I might have a good deal on the calipers, pads and rotors off an 08 Tundra. All with about 600 miles. The owner decided to put the TRD big brakes on. Will these work for the upgrade? I don't know if they changed stuff for the new body style or not.

What's the casting number on the calipers you're looking at?

you'd have to run an 18" rim... those brakes are massive that are on the new tundras. IMO, you will have great difficulty getting those brakes to work. it seems that Toyota America has taken the Tundra's entire drive train to a different level, unlike any setup anywhere else in the toyota lineup. Rather stupid of them, if you ask me...
