    Don't they have like a 7.5" ring gear? That's way small. I've heard rumours of a 8.5" rear but have never seen one in a stock Fbody. Plus they have a 4.75" bolt circle instead of 5".

    I'd air bar it

    Put some monster brakes all the way around it.
    Not sure about the rear end though.
    I bet Redheartbear would know the best way to do it.

    you can buy a disc brake kit for your stock rear. They're not bad priced. The parking brake is the worst part, finding a kit with one if you have to have one for inspection.

    I just like that the air bar system still keeps towing capabilities.
