Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the brake package, axle type, and rear drum size before ordering, especially on Chevrolet and GMC G-Series, P-Series, and Suburban models. Confirm the front brake hardware and pad shape against the existing pads on the vehicle, since several listings depend on JB7, JD7, disc-only, or specific drum-height configurations. For best results, inspect rotors, calipers, and pad contact surfaces during service.
