This is for Dana 60, but it might give you somewhat of an idea.

You gave to grind a little bit off of the calipers, mainly the casting flash. I used this oppertunity to make my calipers completely smooth, but that was just for a custom look. If you still have drum brahes on the back then you won't have to do anything to them.
