When I ran 15's on my my first K5 with a D60 I was running 4 1/8" backspacing. I didn't think the grinding was all that bad but I went with 17's on the next K5.

I am getting ready to do this as well. I have 4.25 BS on my wheels. What does everybody think about the conversion kit above? Do you just use 10b/D44 calipers?

That is what it looks like. If you get 10 bolt calipers you do not have to get new brake lines as the Dana 60 and 10 bolt calipers both use the same size banjo bolt.

If your gonna pimp your parts you better get yourself paid up as a vender.

yeah those kits make thing nice, but one of the great things about goin with a 60 is the brakes IMO

 

[screamin seeman]

When used in conjunction with rear disc brakes, The truck will stop better than it ever did from the factory. The other pro is that the front and rear uses the same inexspensive parts.

Your not stepping on ant toe's

Just saw you were new and thought I would help you out before some real a$$ did.

did your project turn out like that? my rears have less grabbing power after the disc swap. 14 bolt drums are powerful mofuggas...until they get muddy.

i have seemans caliper brackets and they focken rock.

and if your rear disks are not stopping you need the correct master cylinder and maybe and adjustable proportioning valve.

also if you think the there is that much difference in the stopping ablities of a 60 caliper verses and 3/4 caliper in can't tell the difference with mine. i feel you are compromising more by grinding the crap outta yer 60 calipers.
