D44 disc brakes???? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

BlueYJ · 08-24-2001, 09:12 AM

Ok first I dont want to be slammed for building a D44. <IMG SRC="smilies/flipoff.gif" border="0">

The question is, I have to put new ends on the 44 Reverse cut, was concidering large bearing Ford?. But I would also like to run disc brakes, this is for the rear and it is going in a YJ.

Does anyone know of a disc brake setup that will bolt to these ends?, or should I use a different end? and what disc brake set-up?. I dont want to pay the price for the new kits, I am a cheap scate, plus I love crawlin around in junk yards. <IMG SRC="smilies/eyemouth.gif" border="0"> Or should I just go to 11" drums?

Thxs,

i've read a lot of write ups for both crown vic discs and zj discs
is one better then another? i'm doing something similar

If you're putting on Ford ends, why wouldn't you run the Explorer rear discs? You should be able to find them in the JY or buy them new for about $400.

They won't fit over the axle flange.

An old yet interesting thread.... This is a dead link...

I'd like to see this write-up... Is there an updated link to this write-up, or a link to an updated write-up?

Did you read his post? He is putting together a REAR Dana 44 by cutting down a reverse-cut axle and putting Ford rear axle ends on it. I don't think he cares about high-steer.
