Very cool mod. Can you still run 15" wheels, or are you committed to larger sizes now?

Re: 13.8 Rear Disc Conversion for the truck 10-bolt in the works

with this i believe you have to run atleast a 16". If you have steel wheels, you could take off a little bit of caliper material and potentially run 15's. I had a pair of slicks with the 5x5.5 pattern a while back and my friend who has a 02 dodge ram wanted to play... almost fit with no modification... he didnt want to mess with the caliper so we stopped there. I can take some pictures tomarow. I wouldnt mind starting a second set of brackets to use the LS1 rotors and calipers (so you could run 15" wheels with internal ebrake, but I'm going to wait till someone lets me borrow a rear end from our trucks. I dont want to keep pulling the rear end apart to test fit.
Iif anyone in houston willing to let me borrow a rear end for a few months, I definatly could make some progress. I dont want to purchase another rear end just for mock up purposes ya know...

You can really see the caliper in this shot becuase I'm running a 1.5" wheel spacer to give me the stance I want. The wheel offsets offered wasnt enough for me, but the spacer makes it workout perfectly.

Re: 13.8 Rear Disc Conversion for the truck 10-bolt in the works

Finally got some numbers... with hp tuners hooked up to the truck, and scanning the run, Ive got some stoping numbers..
60-0 = 5.249
50-0 = 4.540
45-0 = 3.562
35-0 = 3.245

These were calculated from the time bar on the bottom oh HPtuners. The front wheels definatly locked, I believe the rears didnt... but not sure. some not sure which when the truck slid, at lower speeds, I let up and re applied. These numbers are off of the VSS rather than distance.... which will be my next stage... I will have some cones at a certian mark and go at various speeds and record the distance traveled. I think that might be more accurate. The VSS would read 0mph if the trucks wheels are locked up... either way... heres some numbers fresh off the scanner...
