You don't need to swap the entire housing on the pre 07+ trucks, I know that I've seen where guys have done it. You'll need new backing plates, hardware, brake lines, etc...I hate drum brakes also, but from what I've heard the newer drums stop better than the older discs. If you search this section, there is a rear disc upgrade for the trucks that originally came with discs...I believe that the SUV rear discs are larger...
