Re: DIY Disc Brake Conversion

The back caliper brackets can be ordered from blackbird enterprises. They specialize in rock crawlers. These people like the HO 52/72 rear ends. I bought them as in a pair for 99$ and cut the far corner off and slid it over the axle tube after I ground a chamfer to clear the factory housing welds. I used the 85 3/4 ton rotor and mounted them to the back if the rear hubs using the studs when pressed back in. I listed the needed parts list earlier in this thread. For the record the late 14 bolt rear has the same bolt spacing for the caliper brackets. The blackbird site says they are one in the same. I just ditched the aluminum spacers that they sent. The rear end was very straight far ward compared to the front. Hope this helps.
