Re: 14 bolt ff rear disc brakes
I have not done the swap yet, but I know your truck is a dually and I have a feeling that those will not work on a dually axle because the inside wheels will hit. Most of the disc brake kits for the 14bolts are for single wheel applications.

Re: 14 bolt ff rear disc brakes
If it uses a stock 3/4 ton front rotor then I doubt that you could get it to work with the dual wheels.

Re: 14 bolt ff rear disc brakes
do some more looking around maybe email the sellers
I believe though a spacer is needed to a dually conversion. |

Re: 14 bolt ff rear disc brakes
Wanted to do it on dually also. But it cannot be done with dually 16" wheels. But it may be possible with 19" dually wheels for more clearance. Use 3/4 ton front rotor, elderado calipers to keep the ebrakes, or use a driveline ebrake.
Ruffstuff sells the bracket for the conversion (I allready purchased them) but they are not reccomended if you are towing. |

Re: 14 bolt ff rear disc brakes
even with SRW larger wheels are needed, mine are 16.5 and not much clearance. some people grind their calipers.

and when it comes to DRW i know even less, Im just remembering some of the stuff I ran across while doing my research, I cant speak from experience about 16" or DRW. When ur talking of this close of clearances the type and brand of wheel also come into play. Some are made thicker in areas then others. Google some stuff and see what u can find from others that have done it. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=940338 Last edited by maskale; 01-05-2012 at 12:31 PM. |

Re: 14 bolt ff rear disc brakes
Single wheels will work with caliper grinding.

Re: 14 bolt ff rear disc brakes
could you run a straight edge across the caliper and measure from the hub where the wheel slides on up the the straight edge? Then i could tell for sure if it will work.
Thanks |

Re: 14 bolt ff rear disc brakes
Once again on the crusader build that is a SRW setup not a dually. If someone has a picture of a 16" DRW setup show it. NOT a SRW.
The poster is looking for the DRW setup. |

Re: 14 bolt ff rear disc brakes

Not to derail this thread... but can you please explain the different to me I have an 89 CC dually. I was under the impression I have a 14 bolt full floater... Just with dual wheels... It wasn't until I started looking for disc brakes that I became confused...

Re: 14 bolt ff rear disc brakes
GM used both the 14 bolt and Dana 70 HD's in their duallies, just depended on year, engine, and GVWR of the truck.
