I have the dana 35 rear axle with 9" brake drums. I also have brand new brakes on my part rig, also dana 35 but has 10" drums. My question is can I put the 10" brake set up on the dana 35 with 9" brakes??? I would imagine if I switched the backing plates this would be possible??? Please help, truck is down till I figure this out. Thanks

 

Yes, you need to swap the Backing plates and drums. I think the internal hardware is the same.

 

brother,i really wish i could help you...but i'll continue to keep an eye on your progress......im sure you will get it all squared away soon....keep at it...and dont give up...im sure you wont.....God Bless!!!

 

should work. Only one way to find out!

 

if you are going through the trouble of doing all tha, just swap some disc brakes on there from a durango!

 

The guy I got the rear end off of told me it was 3.55's but he lied its 3.07's. So I got a line on an 8.8 so I think I'm just gonna go that route. Thanks

 

How extensive of a job is it to cherrypick some disks off a Durango from a boneyard and put them on a 98 cherokee with a Dana 35?
Is there much fabrication?
What about the E-brake?
What year Durangos work for this swap?
I've heard of Caprice specials, impalas, and a few others, but not Durangos.

Thanks for the info in advance.
