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??

It search junk yards in the Southwest online. Very little rust and lots of good parts.

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.
