The nice thing about MoPars is that you can raid a HD Cordoba for there 11 inch drums and just swap everything on over. I did this for my 8-1/4 rear that was a OE 10 inch drum.
Below the stock crud backing plate which needs to be WD-40 ed or other down and remove the nuts holding the backing plate on. On the 8-3/4 theres 5 IIRC and on the others, it's 4. But all is well when you swap it over.
Presto, 10 - 11 swap done on the 8-1/4.

Are they 11"x2" or 11"x2.5"? Do all the mopar backing plates have the same 5 bolt as the 8 3/4?
11 x 2 *I think* they are.
No, only the 8-3/4 has the 5 bolt backing plate attaching bolts/studs on the axle flange but all the others swap over IIRC.
