upgrade rear brakes on 96 Ram 1500
I would like to upgrade the rear drum brakes on my 96 Ram 1500. I have read many posts on the subject, but could not find any that were difinitive for a 96.
Can someone say, or point me to a post, for the correct parts upgrade for a 96?
P.S. It has the RWAL, and the stock 9.25 corporate axle (not LSD)

I don't know about a 96 (mine is a 99) but I used the 1 ton GM rear wheel cylinder. Works well, improved rear brake performance. It is a larger diameter cylinder and allows fgor more pressure on brake actuation. And then get the best quality linings you can afford to get.

quite a difference in rear braking!
Well, that is quite a difference in rear braking! I have only done a quick test, but it seem like it takes care not to cause the rear wheels to skid. Now I know what another who did this mod meant by "relearning to brake".
This is a hot-rod modification, and not for everybody. I hope I get used to the braking. If not, I suppose the OEM rear cylinders can be put back in without to much of a deal.
I will say I am thinking this will work pretty good with a load. Thanks gdstock and heyyou - those GM 3500 cylinders are the same for the Dodge 3500. I purchased for a 1996 GM 3500.
