Intersting - I just went to Dodge's website and it lists 4 wheel disc brakes but when I went to the dealership I saw some 03's with rear drum.

I wonder if they tagged some of the early 03's with drums....

hmmm

they made the 4 wheel disk a 400 dollar option, i think it was, so some wont have them and some will,

i would also like to know the answer to this question cause that would be cool to do that

fyi, discs are an option for '03 and ground effects are late availability as were the chrome r/t rims for '02

Just imagine getting a r/t rear out of a salvage title ride and getting a 9 1/4 rear with 3.92 sure grip plus disk brakes too boot that would be great.

Picked up my 03 4X4 yesterday. Disk on all four wheels. On the full size Rams (Diesels) they had 01.5 and all the 2500's were equiped with rear disc. My Ram is a 01.5 and has the rear disc. Maybe following suit and they have used up all the drums and have gone to disk???????

whats all the hype about rear disks? Larger front rotars would help out way more than rear discs would.

Rear discs are standard on all quad cabs, all R/Ts, and all 4X4s. They are options on other Daks.

I'd be interested in this conversion as well. The SSB conversion would be great but thats damn expensive. I've already go the 3.92's, 9.25 and LSD. I think the disks weigh a bit less than the drums. Thats why i'd want them. Plus they look better behind your rims than drums do.

Cool, then we can all post about those shi##y Dodge REAR discs and the warping, which is usually just uneven buildup on the rotor anyway.

I'd just like the conversion parts actually. I'll get the rotors from somewhere else.

The other question is:
Will these bolt up to an '02 QC, and do you have to replace the ABS valve?
