[pennsylvaniaboy]

so i have a lil extra cash and thinking about spending it on some brakes....


first off i no longer have an e-brake...so i am buying a jamar brake lock and was wondering....put it on the front or back?

secondly for a trail only truck...is there a real advantage to spending the money on rear disc's?

I dont know about your 1st question but regarding the 2nd, discs weigh less and clean out better. Dirt and mud can get inside the drums thus ruining the pads much quicker. I re did my rear drums and then realized for a little more $$ I could have converted to discs Oh well, once the shoes are junk I will convert

the first question is using a line lock of sorts...as my temp ebrake...would it be better to do it to the fromt or rear?

Yea I understood the question, I just don't know which would be better. Seems like it would be easier to do the rear
