No. They are drums on the OBS 14-bolts. Disc brake conversion kits are $200+ on eBay. I guess this would be a way to run 15" wheels out back, or would they even fit? Where's our resident 14-bolt aficianado?

So, we are looking at 800-1500 for the rear, 200 for the disk brake conversion, 400 for an eaton, and your bulletproof?

Why would you use an OBS 14-bolt? Couldn't you use the '01+ 2500HD axle?
Do those use drums or disks?

Those are 8-lug, so you'd have to get them converted to 6 lug, or convert the fronts to 8 lug to match the rear. Are the 2500/3500 front brakes larger? Would it be a worthwhile swap?

i broke mine to pieces. A few pics in the thread I posted yesterday. It sucks and is really expensive. I guess this rearend is really weak and even a posi doesn't make this thing bulletproof. I just didn't want to hassle with a swap and some custom fab. I'll let someone else do it first. LOL I only have at most 400 rwhp and this think was tore back inside.

Was it the G80 that went, or something else inside the rear end?
