Alright I know the Dana 35 axle isn't really worth upgrading but I have to replace the rear drums on it since they have frozen so I figured I would do the disc brakes swap to it. Can anybody give me any advice or a parts list of what I need to be able to do the swap out of junk yard parts also if it helps the axle came out of an 87 Jeep Cherokee

Even though it's for an 8.25, it's pretty much the same. Be sure to get the "guts" from the donor vehicle's proportioning valve and the caliper mounting studs.
