3/4 Ton rear drum to disc brake conversion

[Cody_350]

I'm tired of drum brakes, I can't figure them out and I want to upgrade to performance rotors. I have a 1999 Chevy Suburban K2500 (3/4 ton) and I can't find a conversion kit anywhere... does anyone know where I can find the 8 lug kit for this!!? or atleast tell me where to go to get parts individually? I don't care if it's basic rotors and pads because I'm going to swap them out for Power Stop Tow/Haul rotors with performance pads all the way around. please help me out, thanks!!!

If you can't figure out drum brakes, honestly you would be lost trying to convert to a disc setup. You can get parts to convert it at any local parts shop, other than brackets, which you could make on your own with a plasma cutter and some plate.

You will most likely need longer wheel studs and you will need a different master cylinder, one that is designed for disc/disc.

I am not trying to be a dick, but some things should not be played with.

it's fine, I'm getting a small hop when I apply the brake pedal and I've replace the whole rear end brake set up and it still does it, it's not my front either I know for sure, and if I loosen my drums a little then my brake pedal gets low and I hear a screech coming from the rear when I apply the brake. I need a new set up

Brakes are adjusted a bit on the tight side, or it can also be caused from an ebrake cable stuck on partly.

I know for sure my e brake isn't messed up, I have an idea on how to adjust drums and in the morning or when it's raining and I go to use my truck my brakes kinda lock up until I get about 20mph and hit the brakes it kinda of adjust its self and works proper but still has a hop
