FYI, if anyone is curious about weight of complete 11 inch brake conversion kit
VS complete stock drum brakes-
Stock size disc kit unboxed weighs 98.5 lbs including calipers, pads,
Rotors, hoses, backing plates, spindles, brackets, bearings, and all
Hardware.

I will weigh the complete drum setup after removal and post results

This is the stage 1 kit from Dr. Diff

BTW- I am offering up the old stock drum setup complete in the free section,
for any purists, or if you just need parts. Just pay the actual shipping

Well, yesterday I finished the disc brake upgrade. The only hicccup was having to remove the welded on sway bar tabs on the lower control arms to allow front hanging of the calipers.
Total weight of factory front drum brakes: 96.6 lbs.
Total weight of disc brake upgrade: 98.5 lbs.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
