Unless you want to see them thru fancy wheels. Leave them drums and spend the money elsewhere. Your drum emergency brake will become a parking brake with disc.
Not saying not to do it.

If I had it to do over I would have left it alone. It's not that great of a mod other than the look! If you have see through wheels. My truck is a driver and I can't tell one bit of difference in it stopping.
Does it look better, yea I guess! Is it worth $600.00 of looking better... NO.It's your truck though so do what makes you happy.  Before:  After:

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |
