anyone upgraded their rotors? what did you use? what about changing out the backing plate and going with ram brakes? I am also working on seeing if the ram 3rd gen rear disks will bolt on. anyone tried it?

 

x2 on the rams i would do it in a heartbeat

 

If I decide to keep the truck through 2011 I will go with drilled & slotted rotors. As far as the rear & disc, only once did I see a add back in 06 where there was a kit for the Gen IIIs. Although if I remember right someone checked in to it and found it was bull. The Gen II most likely won’t work because of the six wheel bolt pattern and maybe even axel length etc. Out of all the things that they left off these trucks the worse IMO was loosing the rear discs.

 

I'm not diging rotors on the front and drums on the back. I think I will probably end up putting disc on the back also. DJwolf on custom dakotas took disc brakes off his wrecked dakota and tranplanted them onto his QC dakota's back in place of the drums and it looks sweet.

 

I think someone was looking into Durango rear rotorsbut haven't heard from them lately.

Are RAM front rotors much bigger?

Im in the mountains in tenn right now but before I left I measured moms 04 ram 9 1/4 rear and mine and they where the same width mounting plate to mounting plate and both had the standard 4 bolt mounting plate so Im thinking about hunting the junkyards. I know my stock 16" wheels would not fit moms ram due to the brakes being bigger on the front.

 

Im talking about both. It might need a new master and proprtioning valve depends on how much bigger the calipers are. Im used to this stuff since my turbocoupe had front disks and calipers off a cobra, rear disks and rotors off a lincoln and master off a gt mustang.
