When I did mine I got the ones off a 97 Grand Cherokee. Whole axel was $50 or $60 bucks as I remember.
My mind is a little rusty but I believe 1995 - 1997 or 98 rear disks off a Grand Cherokee will work. I know 97 works!

Here's how I did my parking brake cables. Much nicer than looping the cable. I should patent that. LOL
