Green bearings or stock adjustable

One of the disadvantages to the tapered bears is that you will have trouble running disc brakes on the rear axle. The preload on the tapered bearings allow the axles to move slightly. I had trouble with this years ago. If the brake calipers stick sliding for any reason then it will grind one side down fast and drag.

There's no trouble if you use a disk brake kit designed for the tapered bearings. DoctorDiff sells them. They're more expensive than the other internet kits which are just repurposed for Mopar use, but you get to keep the tapered bearings.

The modified Jeep Liberty rear disk brake set up Ehrenberger did for Mopar Action will also supposedly work with the tapered bearings as well. I wouldn't run that kit for other reasons, but again, you can get rear disks to work with tapered bearings. They make rear disks for Ford 9's that work with those tapered Ford bearings too.
