Default Explore rear end

I have a 2000 xj and want to do a explore rear end for the disk brakes already being on it.but I'm worried bought it not being wide enuff .and does anybody make a bracket kit for it.and what else do I have to do as for the drive shift and what not? I'm new to the xj game so I'm still green to it.

If you just want disk in the rear why dont you just do a conversion?
use the rear disks off a newer grand chero' and swap the backing plates?
Or are you wanting a stronger rear axle...

It'd be 5 times easier to just do the disc brake swap on your current set up...be alot less time and money comsuming as well.

you wouldn't even have to open the backing plates up then, It's a direct bolt on. Be sure to get the Proportioning valve also.
