Additional Questions on Drum to Disc Conversion
Alright hive mind,
I am in need of some opinions and addition learnin, on the topic of drum to disc conversion for my XJ D44. In doing my research I have determined that using the backing plates from a ford explorer with a ford 8.8 rear axle will be the way I want to go. Pretty much like this thread here:

Just got a few additional questions:
- What are the ways to attach the soft lines from the caliper to the hard lines on the axle?
- Should I get the calipers from the JY when I get the backing plates or purchase new ones?
- Will 15” wheels fit on this set up?
- I just had all the bearing and seals replaced on my rear axle only about 1500 miles ago. Should I get the Terraflex spacer and new bearings or get the TJ bracket and cut it out so I will not have to remove and press on new bearings.
Thanks in advance for your input!
Jason
