Hey guys looking for some help/advice….

I did multiple searches with different key words and phrases and didn‘t find what I was looking for...

Does anyone know if there is any additional braking performance advantage in using:

This part is for a K30 w/ dual rear wheels.

VS

This part is for a K30 w/ single rear wheels

I have a 1986 M1028A2 w/ single rear wheels.

My question is does anyone know if the part# 5564 for the dual rear wheel trucks will fit the single rear wheel truck?

It‘s dimensions are larger which I would think would help with braking performance due it‘s larger size and additional heat distribution of brake cooling on a larger surface.

The OD is exactly the same for both (12-7/8"), so the actual contact surface would be identical, too. Only thing different (as if 0.4 mm made any difference....?) is the total "height": 77.8 mm vs. 78.2mm.
