Rear Disc Brakes.

Contemplating rear discs on the A. work has already started using Scotties conversion.
I can always reassemble what I got.
Has anybody else have rear discs and how do you like them.
Is it worth the effort??
Thanks

Speaking for myself from a Ford perspective and having planned and attempted to install rear discs, don't bother. It's a waste of time and money. Working out the parking brake is a nightmare, use 80's cadillac calipers? Other options. Regardless, in my case I found the spring lands on the rear axle interfered in such a way that I would have had to orient the calipers in a ridiculous way. I don't know what size the drums/pads are on your Dodge, but they're more than big enough on a ford Econoline 9" rear axle. My 93 Bronco is ABS and has rear drums and 35" wheels, it stops just fine as does my 64 Econoline. Discs in the front, drums in the rear.

A's have 10 x 2-1/2 rear brakes. A cheap and easy upgrade is to swap on 11 x 2-1/2 rear brakes from a C-Body.

i have not made the rear disc brake conversion the entire set up has been made functionable by Steve Scott .
i believe mytch is asking after the conversion is complete how much difference does it make compared to the factory drum brakes.??
i did make the front conversion and that makes a world of difference ,

Dix is correct.
I have Scotties disc conversion up front .
The rears would be from 78 Jeep grand Cherokee.
ALMOST bolt on conversion including parking brake.
30$ in yard parts up till now.

ford explorer,2000 or so year. 100.00 at junkyard. wil get you disc brakes
,traction lock with 3.73 gears. need to shorten the right side ,about 3". so you have a narrowed rearend all said and done.

back to what mytch ,
would the rear disc brakes make much difference
the money and parts and labor excluded .
final product is it a game changer

Decisions, Decisions , Decisions .....
What I got is just fine. Just thinking about an upgrade.
Could put the project on hold and think about it more.
Still changing lefties to righties though. !!
