I dont have a working e brake with my current drum setup, and I would rather swap to discs if I am going to put in some work to this axle. Do you guys run kits? If not, what parts (rotors, brackets, etc) did you guys get together? I would like to use some El Do' calipers for the e brake. Thanks!

I have the TSM kit on my 75 SII , with Eldo calipers, and redrilled GM 1/2 Ton disks. The Scout stops great, but I need to work on the parking brake setup. If you have fab skills you could make your own brackets. Also look at Jim Weeds site, under Tech.

sounds like a good setup... did you use your stock MC and proportioning valve? or did you have to get aftermarket or other vehicle parts?

The MC and booster are stock. I do not know if the PO removed the check ball from the rear reservoir, which is recommended when using front calipers on the rear. My Rig stops straight, with no problems with the rear wanting to come around.
