I have rear disc brakes on my 93 D350 Dual rear wheel truck, but I have 19.5" wheels. Wannadiesel is right, the calipers will not clear the inner dually wheel.

I have them with 17" wheels (SRW) and no problems. Is your truck DRW? What will not fit?

Have any pictures of the problem?

Most definitely, Ron. RWAL works correctly too.

It must be noted though that without changing our stock/OEM proportioning-valve, there's almost a 1" increase in pedal stroke.

Which proportioning valve did you go with?
