Has anyone on here done a rear disc brake conversion? If so what did you use

 

04 durangos have a rear disk package that can be swapped over in some cases if you get the durango's proportioning valve.

 

Went with SSBC No noticeable difference.

 

so in the case of the Durango, what would I take from it? whole axel?

 

I bought this axle from a 2001 Durango 5.9 V8 4x4. I bought it to swap on the disk brakes, but now due to school and other expenses I'm actually selling it locally on craigslist.

 

my bad, i meant 04 dakota. All post-00 durangos are disk i believe.

 

Wrong.... Rear disk brakes didn't come on the Durango till 2003 model year.

 

read crazy's post above- 2001

 

If indeed it did come out of a 2001, then it had a swap from a 2003 in it..

First Generation (1998-2003)



The Durango was marketed as a sturdy truck-based SUV designed to hold up to eight passengers and tow up to 8,950 lb (4,060 kg) when properly equipped.[1] The 4.7 L PowerTech http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V8_engine replaced the 5.2 L Magnum V8 engine for 2000; however, the 5.2 was still available in the early 2000 models. In that same year a special AWD performance version called the R/T was released with a 5.9 L Magnum V8. In 1999 and 2000, a limited edition Shelby S.P.360 version was offered that featured a supercharged version of the 5.9 L Magnum V8 engine. Output is 360 hp (270 kW; 360 PS) and 412 lb·ft (559 N·m) of torque. Exterior modifications include unique wheels, tires, suspension, and bumpers. It came standard with Viper blue paint with two racing stripes down the center of the truck. It boasted a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_to_60_mph time of 7.1 seconds. The top speed was 142 mph (229 km/h).
1998: First model year for Durango, available only in 4WD.
1999: The Durango was made available with 2WD. A 3.9L Magnum V6 engine was available, however few were sold. Minor changes were made for the 2nd year, two new paint colors and notable options available including 6 in × 9 in (150 mm × 230 mm) heated rear view mirrors and steering wheel-mounted radio controls. Leather seats became standard on SLT Plus models, and body-color wheel flares became standard on SLT Plus and 4WD Models.
2000: The new 4.7 L PowerTech V8 engine replaced the 5.2 L Magnum V8 as the standard engine for 4WD models. The 3.9L Magnum V6 engine was no longer available, leaving only V8s for the rest of the production run. The high performance Durango R/T came equipped with a performance tuned 5.9 L Magnum V8 and AWD.
2001: Dodge focused on interior upgrades as Durango's interior trim panels, dash mounted controls, instrument panel, overhead console, and steering wheel were all redesigned. The transfer case selector on 4X4 models changed from a manual lever on the console to a switch on the dash. The instrument cluster was updated and an electronic vehicle information center (EVIC) was incorporated into the overhead console. For improved rear passenger comfort, a dual-zone climate control system was added as standard equipment. Sound systems were improved on all models and now came standard with SX speakers. Other minor changes include door panels, revised seats, aluminium wheels, and minor changes to trim options.
2002: The new SXT version of the Durango was offered as the entry-level trim package. Optional side curtain airbags were added for safety.
2003: Durango featured minor mechanical changes, most notable was the addition of 4-wheel disc brakes.

 

Yes it appears 2003 only year for rear disks for 1st gen Durango's, I just verified with www.NapaOnline.com rear rotors only for 2003. So apparently I was told wrong on the axle year, or swapped in at one point.
