93 Dually rear drum to disc conversion?
93 Dually rear drum to disc conversion?
Does anyone know if it is possible to convert 93 Dually rear drum brakes to disk brakes. I know there are kits for the single rear wheels, but unsure if these will work on the duallys.
I do have 19.5 wheels on my rig. I thought the only reason it would not work was because of caliper to wheel clearance and felt with the 19.5 wheels there would not be a problem. I also have another question for you guys. This truck actually is a car hauler built on a 93 Dodge 1 ton 2wd chassis. When I load a car onto the bed, my total weight is 13,600 lbs. Since I am trying to stop that much weight, I thought about fabricating a special bracket that would let me mount dual disc calipers(2 per wheel) on each side. I know this would greatly increase stopping power, but would it generate so much more heat on the rotors that it would warp them???You may go to my page to view the truck so you can fully understand why I am looking for so much more braking ability. I built the entire truck, and fabricated the bed and the sleeper myself, so I can make my brackets myself if it can be done.
Thats awesome! I have been pondering this for quite some time myself, I just havent been quite to sure as to how to run them, Im not used to dually rear ends yet. I havent even had the wheels of this one yet. I immagine if it can be done on a singe rear wheel, it can be done on a dually. But like Dave said, wheel to caliper clearence issues, but 19.5's will cure that quick, fast, and in a hurry!
