You may have to replace the MC/Prop valve (do they even have one?) and/or ABS control module for the brakes to work correctly when swapping from rear drum to disc and vice versa. I've owned a 00 Z71 for the past 10 years and I've never paid attention to how the brakes work so I'm not even 100% sure on all the modern components. Also, in my opinion the rear disc brakes are nothing to rave about. I do like the 3.73 rear gear I have though, so I think it would be worth the swap.

Thanks!!! It definitely was worth it/work/$!
Yeah I do NOT want the rear disc, I want to take them off my 01 Z71 axles and chunk them and replace them with the drums from the rear of the 06 2wd.
Yeah got to have the 3.73s!! The 3.42s suck so bad! I have them on my 04 crew cab short bed w/ 5.3 and with the 20's and equivalent of 32" tall tires they suck!!! I don't live near any interestate so I am mostly cruising 55-65 which has the crew cab at like 1500 rpms and is sluggish...
Gotta have atleast 3.73s on the 4x4! I wish I had 4.10s but low on cash and need to use what I got.
