Default 2010 Dakota rear dosk conversion

Hi, am new to this site, I am trying to find info on putting disk brakes on the rear of my truck, it has an 8-1/4 rear 5 lug, I believe Durango 2004 and later uses this rear end but the axel flanges may be in the wrong place, anyone have any insight?

Thanks for the reply, I have looked at this conversion kit (https://www.tsmmfg.net/dodge-dakota-...-kit-2552.html), they use a Cadillac Eldorado caliper which I'm not a fan. I'm trying to find a Dodge solution, I was thinking there are other vehicles using 8-1/4 rear ends with 5 lug pattern that I could rob parts from and make it work short of replacing the whole rear,
Thx

I've been working on this whenever I have time. I can tell you right now, there is no way to get ram or durango parts on the dakota rear end without an insane amount of work.
