Hey guys,
Does anyone know whether the 10" drum brakes from the old (2002) 7.5" axle can be reused on an 8.8 31-spline axle out of an FX4 Level-II? My drum brakes are in good shape and if I didn't have to bleed the brakes it seems like the job would be significantly easier... I heard the 8.8" came with 10" drums as well but I didn't know if the backing plates would fit on the larger diameter axle tubes.
The swap is for a '02 B3000 DS. I want the stronger axle for peace of mind off road (especially after going up to the 31" FX4-sized tires) and the Torsen!
Thanks in advance!
