I was at Truckville and thought of something. New 4.7L Ram's use 9 1/4
axles, and have rear discs. Might be able to do something from that.

Before you jump into it, be warned that no one has had a great deal of
success with these "kits." Some require larger rims to fit the
calipers,
others are just plain poor fits. Jim (Dacuda) had a lot of problems
with
the first kit he used.
