Look on Rock Auto, and compare how much it would be with with shipping. And don't forget the discount code thread.

havent been on in a while nor driven the truck much.did the brakes,rotors,calipers spring kit on it just had a couple questions. the arm that sits by the adjusterin the rear,is it supposed to ride on or in front of the adjuster? i found someone said above but mine would only fit in front,it still touches the adjuster though and clicks when i manually adjust it. also how do i verify the adjusters adjusted poperly? i turned them till the drum barely slid on then pumped them in reverse before test ride. braked good,no noises,also e brake is harder to press down,issue?

The little arm is the auto-adjusters. It also keeps the adjuster from loosening up. If it is touching the star wheel, it's in the right spot.

If you brake pedal only travels an inch or two, and then you start getting some braking action, your brakes are adjusted up properly.

E-brake has a separate adjustment, which really likes to rust up... if it works, it's good enough.

ok,just wanted to verify. when i changed them the arm wasnt even connected to the main one so it was no where near the adjuster,guess thats why the shoes didnt look worn at all.
