Re: 14 bolt conversion to disc questions/options

Here is my opinion….

Since you have a semi float and since you want a working ebrake. I would swap in an full float factory disc axle from a newer gen truck.

Personally it all comes down to cost. I think the ebrake calipers are junk. They were junk back when cadi used em on the eldo. I ran them on my conversion at first but now have a deive line ebrake and am running regular calipers.

Coat me
Ruff stuff brackets
Rotors
Calipers
New lines
Brake pads
Drive line ebrake kit from TSM

A newer axle from a 2500 or 3500 would have cost me
Perches and shock mounts from ruff stuff
Axle from bone yard or CL
Ebrake cable mods?
