Strongest brakes for 10 bolt

[k14]

I've got an 80's 10 bolt front diff in my '66 Burb. I had planned on swapping in a 14 bolt ff rear and upgrading the 10 bolt to 8 lug with the heavier brakes, but now i'm thinking of staying with my current setup because I really like my wheels. Does anyone know of an oversized brake kit for the 6 lug 10 bolt. All I could find is this http://www.ssbrakes.com/products/detail/2702/?make=Chevrolet&model=Blazer+%28Fullsize+4WD%29&year=1984 . Does anyone know if larger rotors and calipers are made for this application. Thanks!

Anybody? I did a search and couldn't find anything. Maybe going the 8 lug route is my only option?

I really dont know much; but if you put a 14 ff rear 8 lug, and change the front backing plates and brakes, you would have 8 lug all around. then see if they make a plate that uses 8 lugs and converts to 6.


Are you going after bigger brakes or bigger rear end? I converted my front to 8 lug and my rear to 14 bolt SF, and my brakes stop me and a stumpgrinder well.

Hope this is some help ---Jeff

Thanks. I really just want bigger brakes to help when I tow a boat. I don't do any hardcore wheelin other than some sand dunning and wanted to keep my 6 lug axles.

I say swap to some discs in the back, and you'd prob be happy with it.

if you're going 14bff in the rear just do the disc conversion. i'm running standard size brakes on my 8 lug 10b up front with the conversion in the rear. stops on a dime with 34's

Or/also get tralior brakes, that might be cheaper

you could use the 6 lug hubs for the 14 bolt and convert it to disks with 1/2 ton rotors. problem solved
