Get the bearing retainer plate out of an 03 Rubicon with a dana 44. From a 94-98 Grand cherokee you will need the caliper, Backing Plate, Rotor and short rubber brake lines. It is a good swap I a just finished doing it to my dana 44 in my XJ.

I just did my write up on the conversion along with my axle swap. Tera flex sells the kit for like 500 bucks but i did mine under 3 with pretty much all brand new parts. only real difference i think is that you wont have to hone out the backing plates like i did. the ZJ i pulled everything from had a D44 rear axle so it shouldnt be too bad for ya. let me know if this helped. my write up hasnt been approved yet but ive been driving around for a good month or so without a problem at all
