Thanks for the response! As I am still relatively still in the planning stages, I am still open to different trains of thought or point of view.

Thank you for the additional pictures! I am slowly getting this pictured in my head, step by step. May I ask any reason you went with the TJ brakes as opposed to the other styles (8.8, ZJ etc.)

Alll right Hive mind, Next question in my quest to complete this project. I am doing it a little at a time for budgeting reasons so this may take a while. I aquired a set of caliper brackets set ups from a 2000 explorer with an 8.8 rear axle. My idea was to purchase a spare axle retaining plate...

I have a locker in mine as well and it does that too. I have noticed that how excessive the "steer" is depends on the air levels in the tires, how well balanced they are and how old the tires are. Mine was getting pretty bad for a while then I got new tires and I can hardly notice it now.

Alright hive mind, I am in need of some opinions and addition learnin, on the topic of drum to disc conversion for my XJ D44. In doing my research I have determined that using the backing plates from a ford explorer with a ford 8.8 rear axle will be the way I want to go. Pretty much like this...

How is shipping on those bad boys? To 85303?

Do these have the same bolt holes as the XJ D44? -Jason

I would love to go and meet the gang, but I am scheduled for shoulder surgery that Monday.
