I have disc up front with dual cylinder under cab. Just a note, due to the width it doesn’t line up perfectly. Mine was 1/2 off.
Almost forgot, you will need to adjust brake lines due to requiring a portioning valve in line.

They (Vendors) sell m/c for under floorboard mounting. And yes a proportioning valve is necessary. I believe you can also still get a six lug brake kit. Mine is the Chevy 5 lug on 4.75 bolt pattern. So your wheel setup might be an issue. But stopping is the most important part......upgrade! But some of it depends if you’re going to update the wheels. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 631 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 631 | Many of the kits are “made” or compiled by just few suppliers. So they are built or made to a price point........sold to many different venders.
Some are complete are actually designed to work together...........like master cylinder and portioning valve.
Many kits recommended replacing the ball bearings with tapered roller bearings. Replacing the hubs is great option and often cheaper than just the bearing when purchased in a complete kit.
I would replace all the brake lines during the install.
