Has anyone know if there is a conversion kit for the rear brakes to switch from drums to rear disc brakes? The truck is a 2005 with a 4.7.

 

I've read people converting using Ram brakes. There is a thread around here somewhere.

 

Thanks, I'll check around some more.

One I could find.

 

Any idea what rear diff he has?

Disc brakes from a Jeep Grand Cherokee w/D35 diff will bolt up to the Chryco 8.25 axle.

May need a little cleaning on the center hole of the backing plate/caliper mount.

I used a Dremel tool with a sanding drum, took all of 3 minutes per side.

I got my brake set up from the 'U-Pull-R-Parts' for $50, the Grand had under 30K miles, and everything was like new.

Be sure and get the calipers, mount (backing plate) rubber hoses, rotors, etc. if pulling from a donor axle. And the four mounting bolts, as they are longer than the drum backing plate bolts.


ETA: You may need longer lug studs in the axle shafts!

The rotor is thicker than the drum where it mounts on the axle flange.

 

He has the 9.25 rear differential.

 

This thread is PURE SPECULATION. I have not done a conversion, but THINK it will be a direct bolt-on from 2003ish on.
