I'm redoing the entire rear brakes on my 98 Ranger. It has 9" drums. I'm choosing all Motorcraft this time to see if they work out better than just the cheapest stuff I've been using. On Rockauto they show 2 different 9" Motorcraft brake drums. One is the BRD5 High Level Service design and they are about half the price of the standard 9" Motorcraft drums. I can't find anything about them online or even see one on ebay. So I was wondering if anyone knows what the high level service means? I've already got the brake hose, hardware kit, and brake shoes. Even the Motorcraft brake shoes are made in China. I blow through drums like every year or two no matter what. I've tried 3 or 4 different brands and always have to warranty them at least once. The longest lasting ones in recent years are the ones on there now which are Bendix but they are bouncing now. I did the brake job last time but most of the time everyone I've had touch them always over tightens them and they quickly warp.
