It would be great to be able to buy an aftermarket brake kit like this. You can buy just about anything you want for older cars as far as upgraded disc brake kits go, something like this is long overdue for trucks.

I agree with the mass producing would be a pia. I did this conversion only because of the challenge of doing it and the concept made sense to me and it works. Its guys like all of us that keep these forums going and enjoyable just thought I'd share what I did . Keep all the good ideas posted as we all benefit!!! CHEERS P.S. someone had asked me what truck it is Its a 99 k3500 crew cab short box,wristed radius arm front suspension rad flow coilovers,1997 5.9 cummins 12 valve ,nv 5600 ,np 205 ,11.5 AAM out of 2007 k3500 single rear wheel.

DWL, I am really interested in building a set of these myself but my Dana 60 is a couple hundred miles away and fully assembled yet. I am not in a position to disassemble and take all the necessary measurements, but I am in a position to put some material into a vertical milling center. I would like to upgrade to this disc-over-hub arrangement as well. I would really appreciate the dimensions and from there I could model it and code it. Also, what diameter of wheels are required to clear your setup?

My idea is similar to yours in that I was using the factory 2003 Chevy 2500HD brakes since they are already installed on my truck. Since reading this thread I liked the size difference of the Dodge rotor only for one reason. I installed a tone ring on my hubs similar to what Danatrac did. My Chevy rotors have more room than the D60 rotors but it was tight. The dodge Rotors will give plenty of room to mount the sensors. Anyway here is my thoughts/issues with the brackets. Im not sold on using 5/16 plate for the brackets. Even the 3/8 is somewhat iffy IMO. I havent ruled it out yet just a concern as Im driving this on the road as much as the dirt. Also I am having issues with the Lug bolts. I found a Dorman Bolt you may want to look into the 610-215. It looks good in that the rotor holes are very snug to the bolt. Probably the best we can find that is already produced. It may need a couple thousandths taken off the shoulder area but I will see. First I need a lug nut to ensure it will work in my wheel. Good luck with getting this finished.

Don't laugh but after a long grueling wait I finally got the Blazer back from the shop just a couple months ago...
