Might need to make a separate page on this brake stuff (with more pictures!)

Check this rotor, https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...t=1896&jsn=500

Found it on this nice forum post all about upgraded rotors,

that is a front rotor and therefore incompatible with the drum-in-hat parking brake all of the GMT-800 and 900s (and others) use in the rear

You could maybe add a parking brake caliper or do a driveshaft disc/parking brake- but swapping to that rotor, assuming the hat offset and rotor width is good- loses your parking brake

The parking brake was one of the biggest disqualifiers I was running into when looking for something compatible. The biggest thing I came across that should fit is a 13.1" rotor from EBC, for some reason it's only listed for the 2500HD on Summit and not H2s but It ought to fit, just not sure if it's big enough. The downside is it won't ship for 2 months and must be bought in a pair for $350.

On that Pirate4x4 link, they listed a 2006 Ram 3500 rear rotor that could potentially work but it's very difficult to tell the offset from pictures. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/b...3500/year/2006

4x4 conversion is easy. some one listed it on this site already. Cores are still expensive and not easy to find

I would do an AWD conversion if I was to ever do something like that.
