Disc Brake Conversion On K2500??
« on: April 16, 2014, 09:41:26 am »
Does anyone know if there is a kit or what is needed for a disc brake conversion on a k2500 8 lug?
It's got the 9.5 14 bolt rear diff. Also I wouldn't care if I  had parking brake or not.

     First, welcome to the site from California.  Look here for a site that you just have to input year, make, model.  This is just 1 place that I have saved.

     Did you call them, most places on line only have so much room in their search formats, so they put the most popular ones and years.

      For that you might want to start with researching other axles like yours that have disk and sourcing parts from a wrecking yard or such.
