Jonmalibuss Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Why not just put the rotors from your stock rearend on the 14 bolt? They will bolt right on you will need to pull the axels to remove the backing plates and the same goes to install them on the 14 bolt but they will bolt right up. The calipers will be clocked a bit different on the 14 bolt but they will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this swap and used the factory backing plates from an earlier rearend with disk brakes and the caliper ends up at about a 45* angle at the top front of the axle. I will look for some pics to show you where it puts the caliper, but I talked to baer about this and they just added factory backing plates to the alumasport kit for trucks with drums. This was a very easy swap. This is the kit for one side I recieved from baer the bag just had instructions and the hardwear which you will already have for the brake lines and such.

Quik Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 yes you can put 10bolt brakes on a new 14bolt housing.. here are my 10bolt brakeso n my 06 rear everything lined up. had to tweak the lines some but all bolted right up and everything snapped in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 is this for real? so i can go to a junkyard and get a set of 10 bolt backing plates/rotors/calipers from a 99 on pull my axles and backing plates install the others and put them on my 14 bolt rearend? i cant believe if its this simple more haven't done it. crap that will definately be my next mod.

Jonmalibuss Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm glad to see you found this as straight forward as I did. When I spoke with baer about the drums this was when the 05's first came out and they didn't believe me that GM went back to drums so they got right on it and they called me back and said all I needed was the backing plates to make their current kit work and they added the braided flex lines and mounting hardwear for where the male and female fittings met to hold the hard line in place to keep it from flexing and breaking or cracking, but without this mounting harwear anyone with half a brain can figure something out to keep the hard line from moving or like mentioned reuse the 10 bolt parts if you have the availability to do so. I was supprised that the shock tabs even had the threaded holes in them for the tabs on the e-brake lines for earlier years. This lead m to believe GM used the same shock tabs/brackets as earlier years or they possibly had plans to put disk brakes on the 14 bolt but possibly decided not to, either way everything is there and in place to make this mod look as if it came that way from the factory.

04CHASE Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) quik i think you owe jon a pat on the back!! and jon the 2004 vho's had the 14 bolt with the disc's. Edited March 1, 2007 by 04CHASE (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porno Joe Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 quik do you have the drums off the 06 rear end? I was thinking about painting my set, but it would be nice to have an extra set to do instead. I could pick them up also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
