Rear Disc Conversion 1995 Silverado

[Jlogdce95]

Hey Guys, new to the site here.......I have a '95 and wanna do a rear disc brake conversion on it. I understand there are bolt on kits. Is that the best route? Can you build it together with pieces. My '95 is the 6lug k2500 with the 14 bolt. Any suggestions would be appreciated

check the axles and brakes sticky thread. I think I read you can swap to nbs discs in the rear as well.

i did the nbs conversion. that's the best route cause you can easily find replacement parts. you must have the jb6 brake code in order to do this. the jb5 wont work

Did you write anything up that you could point us to? I looked through your posts, but I didn't see a write up. I found the one by 95BlackTahoe from 2013. Did you use stacked washers for spacers as he did or is there a better way?

that's the write up I followed when I did it. except I used rear dual piston calipers from 2004 Tahoe. and I had a shop close to me ,achine a spacer. I wasn't about to trust the washers. its super easy conversion. as long as you have basic mechanical knowledge

Anybody find a reliable source for the spacer plate?

I searched the internet for weeks looking before I asked this machine shop down the road that was able to do it. since then the shop has closed so I got them to do mine just in time. but good luck. I couldn't find the 10 bolt spacers anywhere

There's a sticky by Gtamazing for an nbs rear disc swap in this axle and brakes section. If your still looking for spacers, cutthroat4x4 makes them. That's where I purchased mine from.

Need just the spacers- yeah, Cuthroat is impossible to contact.

Why do you need to contact them if you don't mind me asking? Can't you just place an order directly through their site?
