Why not just put the rotors from your stock rearend on the 14 bolt? They will bolt right on you will need to pull the axels to remove the backing plates and the same goes to install them on the 14 bolt but they will bolt right up. The calipers will be clocked a bit different on the 14 bolt but they will work.

is this true??

 

axisT6 is completing this swap for one of the guys from Houston, he has a thread in the southern section.

Seems a little more than a direct swap, but not by too much. a little fab work is all.

 

The 4-bolt flange on the axle that the backing plate bolts to is a different bolt pattern. I would just fill and redrill the backing plates.

 

this came from another guy on SSS



Yup It will work. I did this swap and used the factory backing plates from an earlier rearend with disk brakes and the caliper ends up at about a 45* angle at the top front of the axle. I will look for some pics to show you where it puts the caliper, but I talked to baer about this and they just added factory backing plates to the alumasport kit for trucks with drums. This was a very easy swap. :thumbs:
This is the kit for one side I recieved from baer the bag just had instructions and the hardwear which you will already have for the brake lines and such.

Left side

Right side

It depends on the axle housing -- mine wouldn't work, but I found a place to make me some custom rotors (coleman racing) for $300ish per side (2 piece rotor with custom hat) based off my specs.

 

yea i remember your setup....mine is an 06 rear. supposly they are only 14bolt housings with 10bolt tubes and etc...so well see this week

 

yes you can put 10bolt brakes on a new 14bolt housing.. here are my 10bolt brakeso n my 06 rear




everything lined up. had to tweak the lines some but all bolted right up and everything snapped in place

 

good too know, how much did you end up gettin your rear end for anyway, and what from?

 

rear is from a 06sss

price..i got it off Mater

 

Damn! Ah well

BTW, my axle was from an 01-03 2500HD with the JH6 disc brake option -- that one's a PITA... Definitely go with the 06SSS setup from the looks of it.
