Unless you're going to road-course the thing or tow in the mountains, I can't think of any reason I'd mess up a good system to do rear discs. I've generally regretted it when I've done it, and now run drum/disc in most vehicles.
My C2500 has the D60 as well, I'm also curious as to what the difference is 2WD to 4WD.
