BTW: it would only be worth it if you stepped up to the HD brakes(10x2-1/2") and not the 10x1-3/4" std drums.
Another, more common choice is to install rear disc brakes, off an old ZJ or Ford product or to buy a kit with all the parts. Searching should provide you with all the answers .

The OP has a non c-clip axle which has a different flange bolt pattern. You would need to drill out the backing plate, it's been done many times.
You would still have to modify that kit. I can buy a complete ZJ axle w/ brakes for $200.
It makes a big difference, what axle do you have?
No, you either have a D35(almost total round bottom) or a Chryaler 8.25"(big flat area on the bottom).
