fx4 level 2 rear brakes

[jeffw920]

Hey, I need to do the rear brakes on my 04 fx4 l2. I plan on buying new drums, hardware kit and shoes. I want to buy napa stuff to save a little money. I know i require a 10" drum but my question is as follows:

-Napa lists one part number for a 10" drum.

-Motorcraft lists a separate number for an fx4 l2 10" drum as opposed to other 10" drums for rangers.

Is this just a scheme to get more money out of people with level 2's or is there actually something different about the drum i require? as far as i can tell there is nothing visually different and I would prefer to buy the Napa 10" as opposed to the more expensive motorcraft one.

No difference.

I have the complete rear brake assemblies (backing plate out) from my '06 Level II if you want them (spares or whatever.)

They can be yours for the price of shipping.

I would have definitely taken you up on that except i already ordered the parts online Thanks though, what did you do? swap to disks?

 

[Scott B.]

Yes.

There are some pictures of the swap in my build thread (link) on ExplorerForum starting in post #78.
