Question disk brakes.

i was just curious about this, i have a 1989 cherokee with a d35 rear, can a zj rear disk brake system bolt on to my axle. any help would be appreciated. i dont know how the zj brakes mount up, and as far as i can gather the drum brakes on my axle just bolt on with 4 bolts.

Believe it depends on the rear end. Try:

Also search here and NAXJA, I know a bunch of guys have done it.

Do you have access to a cheap zj 35? or is it the D44A?
