Disk Brake Converstion
 

Hey, has anyone ever done or seen a drum to disk brake converstion on the rear?

Which rear do you have ? D60/D70's there are many companies making brackets.

I just did a conversion with one of these guys, kinda pricey, but So far so good...Mark

what an annoying website, I don't even want to buy their product now lol

I have installed kits from TSM and my truck has brackets from Great Lakes Offroad

Do you want an emergency brake or not?

I have a dana 70 rear and yes I would like an emergency brake. I like your set up BC847. where did you get the brackets at for the calipers and the bracket that bolts to the rear itself?

Great point. I did the EGR disc conversion to my 2nd gen D70. Results were: longer,softer pedal and marginal parking brake. It was a lose,lose deal.

I installed the egr kit and had the exact opposite results. I left the RWAL valve because I wanted to see if the problems I was having went away with just the disk conversion. After around 2000 miles, so far so good. I have good solid brakes and the parking brake is great. The p-brake adlustment is a bit of a pain on these calipers, but once it is set right, it works great. I am going to give it some more miles before I put the blame on the drums and not the valve...Mark

No calipers

The EGR kit uses the Eldorado rear disc brake caliper with the parking brake option (as you know). It is VERY important to use the parking brake often in order to keep them properly adjusted as the pads wear. ;)

I think most of the kits will use the Eldo calipers, I went with a transfer case brake and used regular 3/4 Ton fronts on my D60 rear. I latter went to a 99 Chevy 3500 Hydroboost/Master which made them really work well.
