Default Disc brake conversion?

I'm thinking about doing a rear brake disc conversion cause the drums are a hassle and I was wondering how hard it is to do the conversion and what type of stuff do I need for it

If you have a D35 you can swap everything right off of a 94-98 ZJ with a D35. Use the search function and you will find all kinds of info.

This is everything you need to do it.

Or hit the JY and start pullin' parts.. Above kit will run you bout $552.00 plus shipping. Really not a bad deal if you want to go all new.. You'll spend that much x2 buying stock new parts along with a couple trips to the parts store..... I'm thinking about doing this kit down the road....
