Skeet Id love for you to machine my calipers but what about the mount that hold the caliper in place? I need to get the wheels off and take some pics. My bolts are showing on the bracket and Im still rubbing maybe I need new wheels too. Also Skeet it will be awhile before I can afford to fix the rear end. Ben can you still get the hook up on the locker or was that just due to the old job?

To bring back an old post, will a 15x8 rim fit on the back of my 08 since it has drums?

So 15" wheels will not fit the back of a 2002 silverado, but they will fit the front?

Yes. make sure you get the right off set. They don't have the off set available for 15 x 10 6 lug for the back. They stick out and look like roller skates. 15 x 8 work well.
