Rear Drum Upgrade

I saw on "Trucks!" this weekend a segment about upgrading the rear of our drum brake axles with a GM cylinder to increase pressure in the rear.

Anyone know about this or done it?

There's several threads on here about it. Do a search and you'll find plenty of info with part #'s and everything. Got mine sitting in the garage waiting to be put in...

kinda scary in the snow when empty, great in summer though. Very nice when loaded.
