I have 20's like you! The kits are posted in Baers web-site under their applications guide. Our trucks applications will be on page 27 in the application guide. Just sroll until you find our trucks that say 05' & Up with OE drum brakes.
That will tell you if your old kit would have worked or not.
Hope it wouldn't in your case!
The sales reps are not all the intelligent there. Like I said before, it took me 4 e-mails for them to say oooppppss, sorry, we do make that kit!
Morons!
Hope this all helps you out.

Says the disc-conversion fits with stock wheels.
Fronts are available with Eradispeeds (larger) rotors or an oversize (18" req'd) kit.
Alumasports wouldn't have adapted. -now I can let it go

Thanks for the info, gentlemen! And congratulations to whomever is having the baby girl.
