:grinpimp:

Nice, clean, simple setup...

I'll stick with drums with that kind of cost. They sure look nice though...

Thank you guys.. That is why we are an option.

If you want to go with a complete no question to what you need to get rear disc brake kit..
Then you visit our site..

All prices include free shipping to your door In the lower 48 states..


Just to answer some questions
I have noticed alot of folks with questions about replacement rotors..

If and when the time comes you can call us for a part number that you would be able to use at a local parts store.. We only keep the secret untill you have bought a kit. Our rotors are not a propriety type product.

You can kind of think about it like kentucky Fried Chicken original recipe or some other companies secret sauce.. They stayed in business because no one else new their secret

Be assured we are here for our customers and keep no secrets about replacement parts with them.....

will the 70 kit fit D80 as well? im looking to go to discs but no-one seems to make an 80 specific kit. its a 96 axle

Give us a call when you get the chance.. 509-534-5219..

for those interested in a little real world use, i put the D70 kit on my 78 ford, 3 months ago, and i still am amazed in the difference in the braking every time i drive it. :eek: If you're on the fence, trust me when i say, this is the best mod to your 70 you'll ever make.:D :beer:

Thank you the78outlaw.

my rear brakes lock up first in my dodge, I have drums with GM cylinders. I also have a ford front axle with dual piston calipers. will putting disks on the rear make the front work better or do I need a proportioning valve?

also hows the ebrake work on rear disks?
oh yeah and how much to ship to Guam? 96929

Pm Sent..

Easy to install, complete kit.

These are a great upgrade to your axle..

Get rid of those big drums.

Go with a company that doesn't hope that their product will work.

Ours works and it is a direct bolt on.
we also specialize in hybrid axle rear disc brakes, give a call to get you on the trail or road.

:grinpimp:

Get throught the snow with a lighter rear diff...

Time tested product that bolts right on....
We have done our homework on our kits... One type of bracket and one type of rotor does not fit them all...
Go with our kit and they will.. Our kits have been specifically made to work with the different type of D70's

Happy Holidays

I think 78 elderodo brakes will work for this kit. The reason im saying this is becuase they have a mechanical parking brake lever on the caliper itself. You just need to tie in your exhisiting cable with that of the caliper.

Not sure if your replying to the right post..
But yes we do use the eldo caliper for the e brake setup...

No waiting in line, stop by our site and have a look around. These kits are ready to go...

Thank you guys for the orders..

Been asked about this kit lately..
Here you guys go.

Who says you can't lose a little weight on your back side...
All the woman would love you if your rear was a little lighter with a set of our rear disc brakes..

I run blackbirds kit on my d70u, gave em all the measurements, kit went right on, which sometimes doesn't always happen, great customer service.:)

Thank you.. We strive to have the best bolt on no questions ask application..

Your right it doesn't always happen like that. Especially when we get phone calls about brackets that our compeitors have made and folks can't get them to work..


Thanks again for the props..

Will your kit work on 1940s Power Wagon Dana 70s That have a large 6 lug pattern, looks like the same pattern as a Isuzu NPR.

These are the complete do it yourself kit..
No guess work to cutting flanges and trying to line up all parts correctly..
These are direct bolt on..

We have been in this game a long time, don't let a company sell you the magical fit all brake kit.. If it was that easy we would have a 1 kit fits all business.

Thanks for the orders and questions everyone...

Don't wait any longer for the other guys to get you handled. These are in stock.

Will this kit work on a Dana 70 dually axle from a 1985 2wd Dodge 1 ton? They have 5/8 wheel studs, not 9/16 like most.

Eric

Blackbird.....My axle is a D60 Ford 72' center & tubes w/D70 outers/spindles/drums. D70 is out of a 72'Dodge motorhome converted to single w-9/16 studs. Would love to convert to discs. Mud Masher. Prices the same for PIRATES ?????:smokin:
Thank You

Well again I have been asked about our dana 70 kits..
Yes.. These are a bolt on, no questions asked application.
There is no guess work involved. These come with instructions to help ease the install.

Re-use your exisiting studs and no need to modify your axle as well to put any of these kits on..

Am I missing something? $350 bucks for disk brackets and K20 rotors for a 14-bolt? What else comes with it?

Am I missing something? $350 bucks for disk brackets and K20 rotors for a 14-bolt? What else comes with it?

Nope, you are not missing anything. That is one of of our prices for a kit off our site..

Includes install instructions, shipping to your door in the lower 48 states, and a piece of mind you are getting a quality product from a company who has ove 20 years in the offroad business.

Thank you for visiting our site.

why is the dually dana70u so expensive compared to the great prices on the other axle kits?

Price on GM dually 70HD to 54935 without rotors if possible.

If you look at the listing of items that come with our kits you will see the added spacers and hardware for them. That is what the difference in the prices are.

With our prices you get the comfort of knowing these are street and offroad proven. Have a warranty. Are a complete bolt on, no guessing what you need to get brake kit.

I am sorry to say, we do not sell just the brackets from our kits.

Thank you for stopping by our site

One of the largest selections around for true bolt on application.

:grinpimp:

Do you guys make any aftermarket disc brake kits for a Dana 70-3HD? I understand its an oddball axle.

Does anyone use your kits for towing?

Those calipers look VERY small compared to what comes on factory disc brake D70 and D80s.

PM sent :D

Not only do we have them on our tow rigs, they are on several trucks in the states. We also have quite a few on local trucks that go through the Idaho-Montana passes with large trailers...

The calipers are the standard local, easy to replace Chevy 1/2-3/4 4x4 front calipers(non-ebrake) and the Cadillac calipers(e-brake). Almost all vendors on this board utilize these calipers..

To add to the towing question. You shouldn't have any issue also if your larger trailer has its own braking system.

We are a replacement option to the large drum brakes those axles come with.

Thank you

We are here for your axle needs

shed the weight of those drums, for easy to change pads and rotors..

Bolt on application...

you can never go wrong with a company that knows rear axles..
Almost ten years doing upgrades

Thank you guys for going with us

So what makes your Kit's so expensive . I need stuff for a 70HD but can get the stuff from DIY4x for $120 With Rotors. And according to all my measurements I just need to bore standard 3/4 ton rotors out a hair to fit the 70.

Thanks for the question.
We are just one option of a company to go with. We cater to the no question as to what you need complete bolt on kit. No need to source parts from other places.
All of our kits are street and offroad proven.
No names to mention, but we have had many a question about why stuff doesn't work from other companies (brackets way off, no customer support, wrong part numbers for the extra parts), with people telling us and emailing us saying they should have went with us first.
Ours work, no guess work.

and if you get a bad apple from us we will fix it for you.
If we could sell a complete kit for cheaper with free shipping... Trust me... We would..

Thank you

I guess my thing is now matter where I order from I am not going to buy hoses pad's etc. If the rotor's are bored out than that is one thing but I just can't allow myself to spend so much on a disk conversion that should cost me no more than $200.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone...

Happy Holidays

Its a new year... Treat yourself and your truck...

I ave a ford axle with chevy knuckles and what I believe to be chevy brakes "single piston" what is the difference so I know which kit i need? I am not sure if I have any other ford parts past the knuckles.
