92' Ford Ranger Supercab with 2.9 V6................with 8.8 rear axle assembly for 99-2008 Ford Ranger.
Friends,
I have new drum brakes with my recently installed rear axle assembly. I want to let these drum brakes run their life cycle, and then be done with drums for good. I don't want to take up a lot of anyone's time.
This is something I would like to do maybe 3 years down the road. When that time comes, can I convert to rear disc brakes?
Would it generally go like this...............pull axle shafts...........bolt on disc brake backing plates/install disc brakes.........install parking brake system that does not use a drum.......and replace with compatible brake lines and master cylinder if needed
Like I said, no need to take up a lot of anyone's time right now. But is this doable?
