Rear Disc Brake Conversion

Ok, I have the brackets and want to start getting the rest of the parts together.
Anyone done this and have any advice? I am tempted to go to the Eldorado calipers except they seem flimsy and are pricey. The 3/4 Ton "brand X" calipers look a little more beefy, but then I will have to deal with rigging an E brake.

Are there any other options? Any aftermarket solutions that would provide more pistons per caliper?

Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Mark

Been there, done that . ... https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=146673


Seems I've read here recently someone did a conversion to 200x dodge multi-piston calipers on the rear. ?

Hope this helps.
