upgrade brakes on 3/4 ton suburban
I want to upgrade the front discs and change the rears to discs for an 87 suburban 3/4 ton w/ 8 lugs. I've seen threads for 5 and 6 lug rear conversions. Is there anything for the 8 lug rear disc mod?

Re: upgrade brakes on 3/4 ton suburban
Are you using some bigger tires or the stock ones not working to well?
There is a rear disk kit for the 8 lug rears. |

Are you going to upgrade to a hydroboost also?

Re: upgrade brakes on 3/4 ton suburban
I haven't decided on what size tires or the hydroboost since I'm still in the discussion stage and seeing what opions there are. Do you have a link to the 8 lug rear discs?

Re: upgrade brakes on 3/4 ton suburban
If you have a 14bolt full floater there are a number of bracket kits available on the web. Google 14b disc brackets and you should come up with pleanty.

Re: upgrade brakes on 3/4 ton suburban
Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't thought of googling for a truck part.
