14 Bolt Disc Brake Conversion Kit (SRW)
Our disc brake conversion kit is the best conversion to eliminate the drum brakes on a full float 14 Bolt Rear Axle, in many cases it is less expensive to switch to disc brakes than to rebuild drum brakes. Changing from drum brakes to disc brakes is easy, and all the parts you need to complete the conversion and get rid of those heavy drum brakes are included in this kit. The 14 bolt axle is common in Chevy / GM fullsize trucks from 1972 until today in the 3/4 ton and 1 ton range. These will only work on a 73'-87' axle the newer axles are hit and miss. To double check, measure from the 4 bolt mounting flange to the surface the wheel studs press up against (back of hub), should be about 4 & 11/16"
Important
- Requires steel wheel minimum 15" with a maximum 4" back spacing and or larger aluminum wheels.
Note
- Fits 73-87 single rear wheel full float 14 bolt housings.
- If longer studs are needed, usually dually studs are long enough or Dormin #610-301. Double check stud diameter, studs should drop freely into the rotor. DO NOT press studs into the rotor. If your hub has too large of studs you will need to drill the rotors to accept them. Be sure to have minimum 5/8" lug nut thread engagement
- This application will NOT FIT DUAL WHEELS
- This is for Full Float axles only, does not work on Semi Float
- Rotor installs onto the backside of the hub!
- Don't forget to re-bleed your brakes once you've installed your new conversion kit.
- A Proportioning Valve is recommended, this will allow you to fine tune your front/rear stopping power bias. Your front axle should always do about 70% of the work.
