It will, they will just be clocked different. The brake flanges run parallel to the pinion on a Drum brake rear end. On a Disc brake rear end there clocked at a 45 degree angle in relation to the pinion.

This might help some... https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...thread-467473/

To anybody who has completed and driven a 14 bolt swap: did you notice and ill effects that needed to be addressed ? Ie did the extra weight effect any handling characteristics ? Can the larger gears be felt as far as rotational losses ?

Heavier duty leaf springs needed etc ?

Only think I noticed was a little easier to slide the *** end out on corners. Stock 1/2 ton leafs under my truck. No real ill affects. I noticed more of a drive-train loss/feeling from the 4l80e than anything else. 3.42's in a 14 bolt suck though, I have a set of 4.10's ready to swap in.
