G2 makes a nice kit but it's $499.99 It says 91-06 may work on a 86?

thanks for the write up. But I think I/m going with 93-98 ZJ grand rear discs.
I picked up TJ Rubicon axle plates 03-06 and will need to redrill them. I will need to redrill the rotors
to 5 on 5 1/2 and open up the hole in both the rotor and backing plate.

Here is an update: I'm going with a Ford 8.8 rear discs.
I picked up a Ford 8.8 for the rear Disc brakes. I will need to redrill the rotors
to 5 on 5 1/2 and grind the flange of the axle shaft to fit the rotor.

A Jeep 86 Dana 44 top & bottom bolt holes are 3 5/16" and the ford 8.8's holes are 3 9/16". that's the best match for me.

I elongated the holes to the inside of the mount and will need to do the backing plate as well.I ordered the spacers form Teraflex for the ford brakes.
$7.99 each.I punched out the 8.8's disc stud bolts and will use them in place of the 86 Dana 44 stud bolts (8.8's are longer)

Here is a tech post from jj forum from a member who did disc conversion on a Ford 9". http://www.jerseyjeepers.com/disk-brake ... -t727.html

And here are a few pictures from my D35 conversion, using 1998 ZJ rear disc.

thanks that is going to be a big help. I was thinking of doing something like that with the spacer.I was thinking of cutting it in half. Then you don't have to
press off the retainer.

Exactly. Figured that link would steer you in the right direction, for your proposed project. Good luck with it. :mrgreen:

I got the spacers, and I took the Rotors up the street to Mitchells to have them redrill the 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern and make the hole bigger for the axle flange.
