True to that! Drums don’t like routine runs in deep mud. Mud bogger rigs would be better suited for disks. On the other hand, if you want to STOP like an anchor was dropped out of the back of the truck I still stand by 13” rear drums. My ole K10 weights 8,000 lbs and the 13” rear drums stop that truck better than my ’02 Silverado HD with rear disk does empty not to mention the park brake on the K10 holds like having an auger drilled into the ground. Can't say that for any of the Silverado's I've owned.
