This topic has been brought up a few times. If you want to spent the money, you could be the first to have rear disc brakes.

A little extra stopping power will come from slotted and drilled/dimpled rotors with some premium pads up front that is. Under heavy braking, up to 90% of the force goes to the front brakes so upgrading the rear will help under light to medium braking. Doing both upgrades would be awesome, if you got the dough I say go for it.

 

Did the 05 and up ever come with factory rear disc? Or is it possible to pull some rear disc from a previous years 9.25 axle?

 

As was already mentioned, the rear brakes provide very little of the overall braking force. That's why most of them have ABS on the rear brakes only. I have an '06 and I've found it fairly easy to engage the ABS on the rear.

If you want an easy brake upgrade, buy better pads. Hawk makes a line of heavy duty pads specifically for light trucks. I have a co-worker with a Dodge 3500 Diesel 4x4 that was on the verge of buying some $3.000 brake upgade. I talked him into buying a set of the Hawk pads and some new rotors and I showed him how to bed them in properly. We were both quite impressed with the improvement and he saved about $2,700 over his original plan!

 

So the ABS is only in the rear of these trucks? I've often wondered as things locked up and I slid in rain/snow.

 

Rear ABS was standard, and 4 wheel ABS was available as an option for $495.

 

I wonder what it would take to upgrade to full ABS. I kinda miss it to some extent. It has been a light winter but the little slickness I have seen was a bit of an eye opener for me. Just not used to it..

 

I honestly couldn't and can't believe full ABS isn't standard on every vehicle.

 

I don't have an actual parts list but you'll need the ABS specific master cylinder, ABS pump, ABS computer and all associated brake lines, wiring harnessses, and front wheel speed sensors. If the base model doesn't have the holes pre-drilled for the sensors you may have to replace the front knuckles with ABS versions. Your body wiring harness may or may not be pre-wired for ABS so you may have to do some splicing between your ABS module and the fusebox and/or CANBUS system. The only cost-effective way to make the conversion would be to scavenge it from a wreck.
