That's a pretty neat set up.
If you're up for it, you can always do what I did:

Oh cool. I have a follower! See my original post here: http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f29/10-25-rear-disc-brake-conversion-84362/
The Ford and Dodge brakes are the exact same, both made by KH (Kelsey Hayes). The only difference being the depth of the rotors.
I would like to do an exact price comparison between the two dealerships (Ford vs. Dodge) again since the brackets, calipers and ebrake backing plates are made by KH.
One thing I kick myself for not doing is making an exact template of the axle flange when I had the chance :icon_rolleyes: That would make it a lot easier for a newcomer to put these brakes on their axle and not have to worry about hacking into a Dana 60 (not to mention it was somewhat difficult).
The only other method of puting front type calipers on the rear would be to use these: fordmann.com | 4x4van: Axles: Future Rear Disc Conversion (project not finished yet).

No. The OBS hubs are wider than the SD.Could you just put the OBS hubs on the SD rear axle w/ van rotors?
