Rear Backing Plates

Anyone know where I can buy the Rear Back Plate for an 02 Ram 2500 4X4? The dealer wants over $300.00 each for them.

Do you have the same problem I have?? I got deep gouges where the shoes ride and it looks like my brakes are hanging up...Never priced out new ones yet...I took a sanding tool and got rid of the gouges...Will see if that helps..

Opps...,you should have disk brakes rear...Whats wrong with the backing plates??

Well to end this thread I could not find a junk yard that wanted to sell me backing plates. A whole axle no problem. Napa or any aftermarket supplier does not exist. I ended up getting them from a place in Upstate NY for $140 each plus shipping. OEM Mopar parts. Place is called Moparparts.com or something like that. Good guys to deal with as well.
