Rear disc brakes on a 14 bolt

Alright y'all take me to school on putting really disc brakes on a 14-bolt 1 ton rear end. I want basic stuff and there does not need to be any parking brake option.

Here is the best resource I can provide >HERE<

When you get done reading that I may be able to answer any further questions you have.

I just picked up all the things I need to convert my 14B, just need time to get some bearings for the hubs while I am in there.

Awesome thanks man!!! That helped me a lot!!

Just picked up a 14 bolt srw. Gonna use my drw hubs on it. That should give me my fender clearance for 22's. But my question now is ruff stuff has bolt on caliper brackets for that setup but they say it is not for drw just a srw application. I have seen trucks before with duals and disc brake conversions. Do the wheel adapters give the extra clearance needed? Can I use a weld on instead to get what I want?

Here are the brackets you would need Ruff Stuff brackets for CnC hubs on SRW 14B

The Cab and Chassis hubs are the same as the dually hubs, fyi.

The reason they say you can't use dual rear wheels is because the dish of the stock 16" dually rims will NOT clear the new disc brake calipers. If you are using something larger like the 22" semis you are planning on then it won't be problem and you will have tons of clearance for the calipers. The adapters should not affect anything.


This is the exact setup I am gonna be using, I have all the disc brake parts I need except for new stock replacement bearings to replace the old hub bearings. I will be picking my semi wheels soon and ordering the adapters at the same time.

PERFECT!!!! Now I am in business! I figured it was a wheel issue. I am on the right path to getting this thing finished now! Thanks man you have been a great great HELP!!
