why would they stop making 4 wheel disc brakes an option on these trucks, my dad 03 has 4 wheel discs, but they dont seem to have the stopping power of my 2 disc 2 drum set up, they weem to stop over a longer distance, but i just dont get why DCX would stop making that an option, (no offense but iw ould rather have the 2 & 2 set up but thats me) any ideas why they would make it on Gen2 but not Gen3??

well that makes sense, but what is the big deal about 4 wheel discs do they add stopping power or something, bc my dads truck w/ them seems to have less stopping power than my truck and my moms durango which both have rear drums on them???

ya, the disks usually do stop better, more surface area on disks.
