rear disc brakes

Yeah, its been discussed for years.
Why do u need rear discs?

Theres not much weight in the back, does it come with a new master cylinder?

Comically most the kits EXTENDED stopping distances lol.
 
Just easier to work on, I think it looks better too. I know people say rear disc brakes are not that good but I did a set on my ranger and it stops a lot better now and I didn’t change the valve to go to disc yet IMG_2600.JPG
 
A grand plus the master cylinder just isn’t worth it to me to make the brakes easier to change. Drums really aren’t that hard to work with.
 
Yeah I was just thinking [emoji848] but my truck would have around 200,000+ miles by the time they need to get replaced and I may just get a new truck by then
 
I’m with @Bojangles and @whippersnapper02. Rear drums are tried and true. They aren’t that hard to work on and as long as they last you can take them to a shop for that matter and still not go broke. But each to their own man.
If you do it let us know how it goes and post pics. A lot of people are interested in the conversion to disc brakes.
 
Front and rear drums? I’m sure you can put a Model T braking kit on there!
I had a 74 J 10 with drums all the way around. They sucked until I put a vacuum assist booster on it, then it was awesome. I think the surface area of the friction performs better than sandwiching a rotor between two pads
