disc break conversion?

[kyled19]

i want to do a disc break conversion on my truck. I've heard you have to do a second gen booster? has anyone done it? how hard? is it worth it? any tips and info would be greatly appreciated

BC runs disc on his. He should chime in soon.

I just did '03 disc conversion. Kind of a pain because the parts list and template were wrong. Or at least the part numbers didn't cross reference between NAPA and other places. Pretty sure I messed up my master (it was old anyway) in the process, but that's ok because I did a hydroboost swap shortly after. It all works great now. I'll have to do a little write up one of these days.

I have the file for cutting the brackets all dialed in now too. Took a few revisions. I don't know why the template I was given didn't work, all D70 axles are the same/similar, right? Between 3/4-1 ton Dodges I mean. At least as far as hub mounting goes.

I don't know if this setup will fit under 16" rims though? I've got 19.5s and have heard they don't mix well? Haven't tested anything else there.

I bought a kit from tsmmfg.com. Everything bolted right into place, no welding or cutting. It was sure worth it to me.

did you have to upgrade your brake booster or does it work with stock stuff?

http://www.tsmmfg.net/2882.html will this work on my truck? says its for a 94-07 but sometimes the 94 stuff works. and I do have a dually

It works with stock parts. A new proportioning valve would make it better though. The stock one sends too much to the rear brakes and they can lock up pretty easy if you aren't careful. I seem to recall their kits don't work on duallies but I'm not positive. The best thing to do would be to call them and talk to one of the guys that knows what he's doing.

they have a kit called dually wheel kit but its for 94-07 dana 70, 80 thats why I'm wondering if this will work definitely will give them a call.

how hard would it be to swap axles? go to a newer dodge axle that already has disc brakes? would it be a simple swap or very extensive?
