Rear Disc Conversion????
Does anyone have a good way of converting the 1996 Rear drum to a Disc setup?? Everyone that I have seen is for a 1/2 ton or less. I have played with the idea of swapping axles wholesale from a superduty but I want to keep the 8x6.5 bolt pattern.
I thought this was the best forum to ask in b/c more people in here haul more.

Rowdyone,
I'm unsure about what I'm supposed to be looking for on the site. When I type it in I just get a SkyCo index of branches. Nothing about brakes and when I choose Sky Manufacturing from the Dropdown nothing happens.

disc brakes cost more to replace when needed. maybe a little extra stopping power though. also the e-brake on a full drum style is far superior to the small drum inside the SD 's rotor.
