Re: HO52 Rear Disc Brake Conversion Accomplished By Anyone?
I did a conversion but I pieced it together myself. The hardest part was rigging up brackets for a parking brake cable setup. Details are in my get driveable thread (see link below). Those kits look decent priced.

Re: HO52 Rear Disc Brake Conversion Accomplished By Anyone?
I did the lugnut 4x4 conversion on my 69 c20. Also an Eaton H052 rear end. Everything bolted together nicely and no problems with fitment for 16" wheels. I am also not running a parking brake. The only thing I needed to make the kit work was longer studs.
Every time I have sent Shawn @ lugnut 4x4 an email, he responded within minutes. I would reccomend him. Last edited by 5foot16; 05-13-2019 at 04:31 PM. |

Re: HO52 Rear Disc Brake Conversion Accomplished By Anyone?
I did the ruff stuff kit last fall. It was simple and easy to install. You do lose the e-brake, but if you want to spend the money they now sell a caliper that’ll work and has the e-brake, which I may end up adding on later. Only issue you’ll have is you’ll have to drill out the hub to do 9/16” studs. The studs they recommend in the kit worked perfect. I couldn’t find anyone that would drill them for me(I guess liability issue?) so I did it myself. If you do it yourself I used a 19/32” to drill it out and they seated good. The drilling was the only pain part of it. Only other issue I had was the brake line wouldn’t come apart, so I ended up replacing the hard line that runs across the axle to the drivers side.
