Rear Brakes

Is it possible to convert rear drum brakes to rotors. Just curious if it can be done and how difficult it would be to accomplish. Thanks.

I've thought about this myself.

Good link. Thanks. Looks pretty intricate. Might have to give it a shot. I definitely think it would be worth it.

I'd rather spend the money on finding a Dana 60 with rear disk brakes for when I go real crazy with the lifting. =]

you know, you can get a disc brake rear end out of a 98+ at a junk yard with the e- brake cable and everything for about half that price. and if you spend some extra time looking, you can probably find a 98+ disc brake rear with an eaton g80 gov lock.

thats a lot of upgrades for around 200 ish dollars.
