If the pic shows a pick-up, I say not needed, unless you tow a lot and need the extra braking. Haven't done, so I don't know the logistics of conversion.

A interesting project to keep one out of the house .

If your into a lot of high speed braking where your drum brakes are hot and and of no use .

I never saw the need but it does give you bragging rights .

It is after all your Truck so if you feel this is in your best interest go for it .

Qiute a few different options figure out what will work best for you
