Changed rear drums to discs

Just swapped out my rear drums to discs. I don't know if it's just in my mind, but she feels like she comes to a stop a lot quicker now.

Gonna do a write up? Did you buy a kit? Looks cool. What did you do to address the parking brake?

I'll get all the info together and do a write up when it's totally finished. You right in addressing the parking brake, as I haven't yet. But I have in my mind what I think I'll do and will get good photos of it as well to post in the write up.

I paid $595.00 from Blackbird's Custom Trucks. There are others out there. I'll do a complete write up once my truck is back and I get the parking brake set up. Right now it's in the transmission shop getting a bulletproof trans built.
