brake conversion

Is anybody here making a rear brake conversion kit for 88-98 trucks yet. I have seen it for just about every other year and it is a little frustrating for the rest of us in this category. For what they are charging for a kit from some of these other places is what is called "HIGHWAY ROBBERY" so Thanks for any info !!!!!

Hey andrewmp6; Those kits are for up to 1987. I have a 91. I am hoping someone makes us a kit soon too for a couple of hundred instead of a thousand.
