I wouldn't install disc brakes on the rear axle first . They will lock up tighter than Dick's hat band . The weight of the truck is in the front that's where your breaking force comes from and why stock trucks used front disc brakes and drum rears . Use the rear drum brake parts you already have and buy the front disc brakes .

Start a new thread to get info on improving your brakes . Now that this thread is in vendor review area it won't get as much attention .
