Stainless Steel Brakes, Stillen, or OEM "Conversion"...all are about the
same price on the rear disc conversion.

Honestly, I was REALLY hard on my brakes (in the Dakota) and the Powerslots
up front (with Hawk Pads) really made a huge difference. The rear brakes on
these trucks don't do a whole lot so there's really no advantage on the rear
disc conversion. If you look at the trucks closely, you'll see that Dodge
tried Rear Disc for a few years and then went right back to rear drums. No
advantage in real world driving versus the cost.

Thanks...

I like the 338's too but you really have to have a nice oversize rotor /
caliper set up for them.

I still have my dum drums on the rear...i'd like to upgrade that....

Thanks pal...

I've decided to leave the b/c as is and go with Boss 304 wheels....18's in
the front
w 255 45's and 20's in the rear w 295 45's.
