My drums are 2 1/4"deep.All four of them.The rear shoes that were in it are 2" but they could have been installed by mistake. Is this correct for an AD? Using narrower shoes in the rear? Or did I get the wrong shoes for the rear?---Jack | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 224 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 224 | pads and shoes are all , 1 3/4 " ....55 1st 3100....

There's alot of info here if you look around.---Jack | | |
