4x4 brakes
« on: August 19, 2010, 11:13:26 am »
Hello I am new to the site and 4x4, but not this body style.
I have 80 GMC K15 4x4 with Dana 44 front and 12 bolt rear factory,and was wondering if their are any better brakes upgrades.
I would like disc in the back and better ones in the front.

Thanks for any help

I believe you can get slotted discs for the front and get some good pads.

Another member is swapping his rear drums over to C5 discs, but it is on a 2wd so I dont know the differences.

Another thing is to get stainless steel brake lines, and of course, proper maintenance-fresh brake fluid, good calipers and wheel cylinders.

Thanks beastie_3
I have looked in the forums and cant seem to find the six lug rear disc conversion. I have found several for 2wd but not 4wd.
