have been looking into this steering and brake swap as well. haven't bought anything yet just researching it. already have the Rusty's over the Knuckle adjustable track bar, relocated sway bar mounts and over the knuckle steering conversion( which I know ill have to modify, if I do the swap). was wondering if anyone know if the Ford Sport Trac Front rotors would work with this conversion, instead of redrilling the rotors to 5x4.5 bolt pattern?

 

Yes, they will.

Redrilling the rotors are very easy though.

 

Thank you, good to know. how would I go about redrilling the rotors if went that route, or what tools would be needed?

 

Using Sport Trac rotors requires the bearing hubs to be ground down a bit so they fit inside.

Using and redrilling WJ rotors requires an old XJ rotor, a 5/8" drill bit and a drill (preferably a drill press, but it can be done with a hand drill). The XJ rotor slips inside the WJ rotor and acts as a guide for redrilling. Drill 5 holes and slap it on.

 

Thank you for this information. didn't know re-drilling would be that simple. luckily do have access to a drill press and such. probably just go that route when I get there.

 

Right, the hole pattern doesn't have to be held to a .0001" tolerance because the rotor is hub centric.

 

any update on the steering conversion? where to buy or diy?
