Im not sure if it will fit your rear end, when I was looking for the backing plates to use a 4th gen rear disk setup

if I remember right, the 4th gen rear setup is pretty close to the 1LE 3rd gen rear setup

I know for sure the 4th gen rear disk will not clear 14s, you need at least 15s (I think the rotor is around 11.8 or so in diameter)

Im pretty sure the the 3/4th gen rear axle flange pattern is the same essentially as the old 8.2 BOP axle flange
