Default 99 XJ rear brakes

I've recently acquired a 99 XJ with rear drum brakes and I'd like to convert to disc. What's the best option?

Why do you want to convert to disc? Doesn't your Jeep stop well?

Rear disc from a GC or an KL is the cheapest way

Quick google search brings up tons of options. ZJ and KJ are fairly cheap junkyard upgrades.
