I bought the CPP rear disc brake kit and after I figured it out it's OK. I was hoping it would be very noticeable deference in the stopping of my 71 with 20" wheels but after finishing it, it's not much better than with the drums!
The kit was a pain to install also because they don't tell you you may not need the spacers for the calipers. I had to take everything back off the passenger side. I called there help line several times. The rear brake hose they send want fit the tee at the rear end either. Adjusting the rear brakes is a real joy!
Here is my thread on my install.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
