Description

Dodge Dana 70 Disc Brake Conversion Kit

Complete Disc Brake Swap for Dodge Dana 70 SRW Axles

This disc brake conversion kit is built to eliminate the heavy and hard-to-service drum brakes found on 1981–1993 Dodge Dana 70 single rear wheel (SRW) axles. It includes everything needed to complete the swap and delivers better stopping performance, easier maintenance, and significant weight reduction—perfect for off-road applications.

The kit uses weld-on brackets and mounts the rotor behind the hub. It fits standard 15" steel wheels with a maximum 4" backspacing. All components ship ready to install, including rotors, calipers, pads, and lines. Not compatible with dually axles or bolt-on drum assemblies.

Important Notes

  • Check stud fit: studs must drop freely into the rotor—do not press them in
  • Longer studs may be needed (e.g., Dorman 610-215, 610-283.1, or 610-363)
  • Kit only works if your original drum installs behind the hub (not slip-on style)

  • If needed, upgrade to a larger 82–85 B350 master cylinder (NAPA M2134)
  • An adjustable proportioning valve is recommended for brake bias tuning

Disc brake conversion

If this kid is made for the Dana 70, then why won't it fit 94 through 02 dodge 2500?

Good quality as always

Thick metal and quality calipers, very well put together kit. Makes for a very easy install. Fast shipping. Ruff stuff has the best customer service there is.

takes a day!

Well built kit, everything bolts up and works with the stock proportioning valve which is contrary to what I've read online. Bye bye heavy drums and shoes. My only issue is that I cannot get the ebrake to fully grab the disc when engaged. The springs are compressed which is weird... Overall impressed.
