TJ's truck has the fronts from a late 70's 1 ton on the back. It is way touchy....I have come in hot to an intersection and the light changes. No choice but to stand on 'em hard....once they lock, it's tough to get unlocked and back to a reasonable braking situation.
Everyone looks when you fly up to an intersection with the rears locked and the old MT/R's squealing like a mother.

It might be worth checking into stepping down to a 1/2 ton sized caliper for the rear. On the newer (GMT800) trucks, the front calipers from a 1500 are used on the rear of the 2500 HD. Might as well swap in one of the hydro boost units while you're at it
