Default Disc swap for 8.25 needed parts?

Well after about 5 months of looking in local junkyards i finally found a pair of unharmed rear disc backing plates off of a zj dana 35. Problem is its just the plates and i hammered the studs out as well. I'm trying to find all the hardware needed as far as the springs and clips needed for this at either auto zone or oreilys. Problem is ive never seen one of these complete to know what I'm needing to buy or how to put it back together. From looking at pictures all the internal spring hardware seem to really just be being used for the parking brake right? Can anyone help in locating the parts i need?

So far ive found this.Is this the entire kit or no?

If you swap to disks will this stop the axles form 'walking out' if they brake?

It will, but it will only hold to get off of the trail not to drive on.
