Default Rear Brakes

Well the time has finally come, I was told when I bought it the Rear brakes where only at 30%. A few days ago they wore out and are now squeaking.

I know ill need to replace both Drums and Shoes, Not sure on the Parking brake gear. I plan to take it to the shop and have them done. Ill do other work, but I dont bother with brakes.
I had the front done about 8 months ago, Both Calipers, Pads and Rotors.
Sucks to, since I just had the struts replaced and my leveling kit installed since I had the money.

Rears are pretty easy to do. Think you will run into is what spring system you have. They made a design change mid year at some point in 05 and it is really confusing. And rear brakes are not cheap on these trucks either.
