Has anyone looked into swapping late model rear discs onto say a '97?

 

why would you need them? i understand a little bit better for stopping but its gonna be expensive if you can find a kit.

 

Not looking for a kit. Just wondered if the rear disc setup off of a '02 Ram would bolt on a '97.

 

ooo i got ya.... im sure there is a way to do it but obviously its gonna take some custom fabbing to mount it i personally dont know that much about it....

 

I thought maybe they are just a bolt-onupgrade to the 2nd gen rearend. It is doubtful, surely someone would have done it by now. Thanks for your input.

 

Anyone????

 

How are you using the truck? Are you pulling a large boat or trailer? If so, electric brakes would be MUCH cheaper, easier, and effective.

 

I mean, there is this article for a 2500 on PS:

Can I ask what you need the extra braking for? If you have a large trailer that you need pull frequently, chances are it has electric brakes on it and you'll just need to have your truck wired for it. I don't believe it's too expensive to get wired (well, I know not compared to this conversion).

 

Not towing anything. Just want the performance upgrade without throwing down $800-$900

 

Have you looked into upgrading your wheel cylinders? It's a MUCH cheaper upgrade that will produce a decent gain in stopping power.
