Thanks for the replies. I know the fronts do most of the braking, but I haven't had a bit of trouble with the larger rear drums. No real difference from when I had the same size all the way around. The reason I have 11" on the back now is I swapped in a later year rearend last spring. I may eventually put discs on the front. Ollie - thanks for your comments. That was another one of my thoughts - to go to a dual.
