Default 2001 dodge durango Rear Disk Brakes Conversion?

Hey, I have a 2001 Dodge Durango SLT Plus and was wondering if there is a Drum to Disk conversion that just bolts up?


Edit: Would getting a axel from a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee be an option? Those have disk brakes on the rear, also I have 9.25 gears in the rear.

you CAN swap over parts from a 2003 durango (they had disc brakes on the rear) but it is NOT a cheap conversion and there are a lot of little details that need to be changed in addition to just swapping the brake parts (im not sure on 100% of what needs to be changed)

i would imagine the grand cherokee has a different track width so in that case swapping that would not work. Dakota/Durango are your best bet.

Back up a bit. Why do you think disks would make a difference? I've had my '01 since new and never (ever!) had a problem with brakes, even towing.

So you're spending money and effort on a guess, to fix a problem you don't have. Can I have a grant?

I asked Grant what he was doing, and he said he was busy. So, I guess you don't get one today.
