Ok, I gotcha now. I have not done or even looked at the rear brakes on my 01 - due to having an exhaust brake.
Im suprised the original poster, Whitmore did not mention anything about bending brakelines (he has an 01) |
I have excessive brake dust on the front, how much will this cut down on the dust? My brake pedal is really stiff, will this help?

No - get the Dodge shoes. You are just replacing the cylinder itself. Everything else stays the same.
