    Thanks for the vid! Looking to do this to support a dually conversion kit.

    This would fit a dually right?

    Jerriod, I know this is an older video but, I just watched another video where a guy converted his 92 F150 drum brakes and he cut the backing plate off with a reciprocating saw and an angle grinder. Do you think that would be possible with the f350 or do you have to remove the axle shaft? Thanks

      I don't recall. I believe they were bolted on. Sry not much help

      It was bolted. I could see the backing plate in the bed of the truck

    Is the bracket/flange on the inside or outside of axles 4 bolt mounting location?

    I just did this on mine. Exactly the same as you. What did you end up doing with the E Brake cables. I just don't see how to modify it to make it work.

      You have to order universal ones. Amazon

    So i see you did the swap for rear disc....And i told someone else i was doing it and this is what they said...........What you think...did u have to do all this..?.....Thanks...Only thing i didnt get was the Proportioning Valve...got it from CP too.........> then it's a bad idea...disc brakes have far different fluid pressure and volume needs, that can't be supplied byu the stock booster and master....also the prob valve n the truck isn't tuned for rear discs either...

      So after I put the valve on I'll let you know how it stops. I haven't had time to complete it.

      @@summitdave8782 no. Not until I install it. Once the brakes were bled it worked for a bit. But after driving i lost the rears. Bled the system again and same results.
      Just drained the master have to rework the brake lines to go through the proportioning valve so I can increase pressure to the rear

      There was a leak on one of the axel seals. I figured I just replace everything so I would have to worry about it down the line. Good thing I did because I found the bad hub in the rear

      Depends on the Truck if you have a Full Floating no need but in some cases with a Posi-Trac or LSD you need to remove the pins in the Diff
