Cherokee Drums on 8.75”
It depends. There are Yukon axles that have the large bolt pattern but the small bolt pattern axle flange offset. If you have those, you have to use the SBP backing plates and drums, but re-drill the SBP drums for the 5x4.5" pattern.
There are also Yukon axles that have the large bolt pattern and the large bolt pattern axle flange offset. If you have those, you need BBP backing plates and drums, nothing you do to the SBP brake set will make them fit properly.
This is normally the difference between SBP and BBP axles.
The axle flange offset is clearly different- which means the backing plate offset is different and the drums are different not only in width but in the location of the brake surface relative to the mounting surface. But the aftermarket axle manufacturers complicated things by making axles that have the SBP flange offset with the big bolt pattern. Bottom line is, you have to figure out what axles you have and just looking at the bolt pattern won't tell you.
