I'm considering doing a disk swap, in the interm of swaping in the 14 bolt (next year some time after my move :-( But would like to know if the set up works. How well do the calipers work? problems with fitment? calipers sticking? ect ect I had great sevice from BC Broncos on another order a few months ago, hoping this works out.....Yipeeeee an upgrade, not just fixing the POS spwest2 02-25-2002, 10:16 AM i hear you can get all the parts from a newer explorer with the 8.8 that will bolt right on? is this true> carcfat mag has an article on it i guess, (i dont read it).

I heard that wildhorses uses at least the rotors from an explorer and then they redrill them for the 5x5.5 bolt pattern. Im not sure about the other parts. wildbroncobilly 02-25-2002, 02:34 PM Ford Motorsport makes a nice bolt on kit too with brkts, rotors,calipers and internal shoe style e-brakes :eek: DaleL 02-26-2002, 07:29 AM If you have a small bearing 9" TSM is the only kit I found that will work I got mine from Broncograveyard for $350 shipped. It included the brkts rotors hardware and new lines for the calipers. BCBroncos may have them now but they didn't like 3 or 4 weeks ago when I did mine. There is a dude on ebay that sells them too but he redrills chebby 6 lug rotors and siameses 2 holes together (Which he claims does nothing to the strength but I am skeptical). Do yourself a favor and get the brackets and rotors as those are the hardest parts to get that fit right. As for the 8.8 never heard of that......Here is the finished product (http://racinhound.homestead.com/files/Dsc00289.jpg)
