Re: Rear Dana 44 Disc brakes 86 CJ7 G2 makes a nice kit but it's $499.99 It says 91-06 may work on a 86?

Re: Rear Dana 44 Disc brakes 86 CJ7 thanks for the write up. But I think I/m going with 93-98 ZJ grand rear discs.
I picked up TJ Rubicon axle plates 03-06 and will need to redrill them. I will need to redrill the rotors to 5 on 5 1/2 and open up the hole in both the rotor and backing plate. _________________ PatriotJeepers 86 CJ7 258, T18, Scout Dana 300 twin stick,Dana 44's, lockers 4wd Disc,35" BFG KM2's,8274 Warn winch, full cage ,OBA |

Re: Rear Dana 44 Disc brakes 86 CJ7 Here is an update: I'm going with a Ford 8.8 rear discs.
I picked up a Ford 8.8 for the rear Disc brakes. I will need to redrill the rotors to 5 on 5 1/2 and grind the flange of the axle shaft to fit the rotor. A Jeep 86 Dana 44 top & bottom bolt holes are 3 5/16" and the ford 8.8's holes are 3 9/16". that's the best match for me. _________________ PatriotJeepers 86 CJ7 258, T18, Scout Dana 300 twin stick,Dana 44's, lockers 4wd Disc,35" BFG KM2's,8274 Warn winch, full cage ,OBA |

Re: Rear Dana 44 Disc brakes 86 CJ7 I elongated the holes to the inside of the mount and will need to do the backing plate as well.I ordered the spacers form Teraflex for the ford brakes.
$7.99 each.I punched out the 8.8's disc stud bolts and will use them in place of the 86 Dana 44 stud bolts (8.8's are longer) _________________ PatriotJeepers 86 CJ7 258, T18, Scout Dana 300 twin stick,Dana 44's, lockers 4wd Disc,35" BFG KM2's,8274 Warn winch, full cage ,OBA |

Re: Rear Dana 44 Disc brakes 86 CJ7 Here is a tech post from jj forum from a member who did disc conversion on a Ford 9". http://www.jerseyjeepers.com/disk-brake ... -t727.html
And here are a few pictures from my D35 conversion, using 1998 ZJ rear disc. Sent from my G'zOne Commando using Tapatalk 2

Re: Rear Dana 44 Disc brakes 86 CJ7 thanks that is going to be a big help. I was thinking of doing something like that with the spacer.I was thinking of cutting it in half. Then you don't have to
press off the retainer. _________________ PatriotJeepers 86 CJ7 258, T18, Scout Dana 300 twin stick,Dana 44's, lockers 4wd Disc,35" BFG KM2's,8274 Warn winch, full cage ,OBA |

Re: Rear Dana 44 Disc brakes 86 CJ7 Exactly. Figured that link would steer you in the right direction, for your proposed project. Good luck with it.

Re: Rear Dana 44 Disc brakes 86 CJ7 I got the spacers, and I took the Rotors up the street to Mitchells to have them redrill the 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern and make the hole bigger for the axle flange.
