99 F-150 rear drums

Need to change the brakes on my friends 99 F-150 this weekend. Disc's up front I'm not worried about as I assume they are similar to my Ranger.

But I have never dealt with rear drums before. Any tips or suggestions on the correct way to do this would be great. Want to make sure I don't mess anything up to bad

Drums are more complex than disc but still not too bad. A good manual will walk you through the process. One thing I would mention is to check the linings when you install them. It is possible to install them with the fronts on one wheel and the backs on the other. This causes them to drag on one side.

Also it's best to only work one side at a time so you have the other side for reference.
To elaborate on what Dan said.....the shorter shoes go at the front, the longer ones at the rear.
