Disk conversion?

I have about had it with my brake shudder. New drums fix it for awhile and then it comes back. I have read the other post on the problem and so far nothing seems to work. I just want a smooth stop everytime.

There is a company named Dynatrak at
714 596-4461 that has two converstions that may work on my 96 (Dana 80 with single wheels). Has anyone investigated this. They have one kit for about 41K with single piston calipers and for about $1.3K you can get two piston calipers. The person I spoke with felt they would fit but said I would have to try it. It may also require a proportioning valve and a different booster.

If I had the $$$ I'd try it myself. Any feedback on this? One of your big $$$ guys want to try it out?

Better yet, someone solve my freaking brake problem... I would be eternally grateful.
