Really?! I didn't know they had reverted to drums on the 1/2 tons back in 05. Thanks for the info. I'm hoping at least the HD's stick with discs on all corners. I've never even owned a vehicle with drums as even my old 89 GP is discs all the way around.

The heat generated stopping a loaded truck can be rather extreme... I was hoping for the opposite approach and have vented discs on all corners for the 900's (at least on the HD's)... Although I'll admit that that's probably overkill!
I'm really hoping pedal feel is better regardless of the setup... My only gripe about my 2500HD is the spongy brake pedal feel. Although I'm sure it'll be better once I redo the brakes. It seems very bad compared to my Comp G and even my 89 GP (although those pads and rotors only have a few thousand miles on them)
