Product Description
For years, the common disc conversion available for rear 8x6.5 lug pattern axles was a K20 front rotor and caliper or Eldorado caliper for adding a parking brake.
The OLD way:
- Single piston caliper
- Marginal Parking Brake using caliper piston
- 12.5" rotor
HBW has a better way!
This Deluxe kit is the solution:
- Commonly available factory components from a 2009 Chevy 2500HD (30+ year newer technology!)
- Dual piston caliper with a bore of 2 inch per piston
- Drum-in-hat style park brake (that actually works)
- Larger 13 inch rotor. Better in every category!
What Comes in My Kit?
- Rotors
- Brake Pads
- Calipers
- Backing Plate System
- Parking Brake Shoes
- Hardware Kits
- Custom Flange Kit
- Instructions
What else should I know?!
Prepare for CONFIDENT disc brake operation! This kit does require some fabrication, you'll need to remove the old square flange and weld on the new flange for the caliper bracket supplied in the kit. If you aren't confident in your welding skills, find a beer distributor and buy your skilled welder buddy some suds. Other than that, it's all bolt on from there! This is a complete kit less brake lines and park cables. It uses parking brake cables that you can buy at almost any auto parts store for the previously mentioned vehicle, and because of the many cab and bed configurations, you have many options for length of cables.
Oh, one more thing.....FREE SHIPPING! We've probably lost our minds offering free shipping on these. Take advantage before the bean counters (my wife) finds out!
