CPP also sells rear disc brake kits; it is bolt on except for a tab for the emergency brake (if you want to run an e-brake) that welds onto the rear axle. The grand slam kit had everything I needed to rebuild my front and rear suspension, front brakes, and drop how much I wanted.
Their rear disc kits are $599, look on page 2 of the truck section. If you need to rebuild your suspension the grand slam is great, I absolutely love mine. If not, they sell drop kits with spindles, rotors, calipers, that utilize all your original tie rods, ball joints etc.

I think ive decided to just get some 6 lug front rotors for now and worry about the rest later. My near drums just got rebuilt so i guess i shoudl drive it awhile before i worry about upgrading them.

On a side note. Does anyone know the rim lingo for the 6lug patern?

6 lug rotors for our trucks are 6 on 5.5
Are you planning on going with and aftermarket wheels? The reason I ask is that there are way more wheels out there to choose from if you went with 5 on 5 lug pattern. BUT they are starting to get alot more 6 on 5.5 now because of the newer trucks and SUVs that have the 6 lug rotors.

Yes i am goign with after market wheels and thats one of the reasons i think 6 lug is the way to go since all the new suvs are the same patern its easier to find 20's with a 6 lug patern and im looking to score a set on ebay with some tires and save some $.
