Post Traction control and rear disc brake conversion!

I just bought a 2006 CREW CAB SILVERADO, does anybody know how to convert to factory rear disc brakes and add the traction control with the button on the dash!

Yes there is a few familiar that have done it and more that have not but can still give you great advise but its going to take longer than 45 min. Give it a day or two or even a couple of hours and ppl will shime in. As far as the traction control...As mentioned above, it's not worth it. Good luck!

im not sure about the traction control part, but i recently swapped over to rear disc on my 06 reg cab. find yourself a complete rear end and just swap all the brake parts over. i did the whole thing in about two hours. you dont need to use a proportioning valve or anything....

if you have any specific questions let me know.
