Also the kit from Blackbirds is for an 8 lug conversion..they didnt list a kit for the 6 lug 1/2 ton axle...and I know they have some quallity stuff since I've used it myself but at 535.00 I think anyones best bet is to get away from the closed knuckle front, unless you want to keep it stock in which case you wouldnt be wanting discs anyway.

A disc brake Dana-44 or 10-bolt can be had for under $100. You would be lucky to find the disc brake parts you need to convert yours for that.
