might want to get the correct soft brake lines for the rear to avoid having to run around at the last second, and might as well look into upgrading your prop valve (to a 4040) if you are non-abs.

Drums are lighter 
Drums are fun to work on and easy to maintain. 
Good luck with the write up.

easier to work on, yes, but you have to work on them more often.
