The 8 3/4" disc conversion I did is here: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=105241&highlight=3%2F4 Andrew

Im sorry I never followed up here. Here is the thread of my conversion using jeep Cherokee rear discs on a 8 3/4. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=105241 Lots of pics and measurements. Hope this helps.

Drew mine is not on the road yet Andrew

Check this forum for my post on using Jeep chreokee brakes on the 8 3/4 axle. It really wasnt that hard and Im using the standard bearings. Andrew

It is my intent to get a complete system off of a RAM truck. Andrew

Ill be using wilwood pro 2" dropped spindles, RJ I have 3" brake ducts sitting on my bench, Ill install them when I pull the front grill of for paint, and Ill post pics. They will be fed from the front spoiler. Andrew

I too am interested in the 12.19" brake package if they will be adequate to stop the car. I have 10.75" discs in the rear. The 12" discs are roughly $800, and the wilwood spindles are $147 ea. The larger brakes are from $1200 up to ridiculous. Andrew

I need help from the protouring /autocross crowd here. This will be a 600HP build and I dont know if the 11"s will be good enough. Andrew

I dont know, it had 5x4 SBP drums on the front. The 11" ones Im talking about are Wilwood 4 piston slotted and drilled discs. This is why Ive asked for advice. Andrew

I have ordered a tubular front end from Denny which uses Mustang II spindles. The question here is whether I need 12" discs or will 11" do. The 11" solution is easy and relatively inexpensive, the 12" route is more complicated. I can only find 12" "Drag" brakes from wilwood, but they are .81"...

I did mine with the rear discs from a grand cherokee. My thread here in the brakes section has all the details. Andrew

for the record I used 17" wheels in the rear with plenty of room. Andrew

I have a thread here on the 8.75" conversion. Andrew

e5, if you have an 8 1/4" the jeep cherokee discs are a DIRECT bolt on, if you have an 8 3/4" it takes a little more time and effort but it still is a "budget" route to go and stay all MoPar. Andrew

Thanks dusterdude, your third pic says it all. Thats the exact condition I have. However when I owned the Missile in the 70s I could brake and apply the gas just by rotating my foot on my heel. Lifting my leg half way to my chest was not required. Andrew

In my instance,I put back the master cylinder and the brake pedal assembly back that came with the car without making any changes to them and had this problem. Andrew

Mine has the same problem, waiting for a response. Andrew

I now see,good work.

If I may say nice machining. You how ever still have to get a longer axle, and build spacers for the bearing package to push the bearing back into the tube. Dont forget that.This is exactly the same problem created with the Jeep Cherokee swap. Andrew

Buschi, here is the link to the thread for the 8 3/4" Yes all of those parts will work, except the brake hoses. The issue is you are pulling your axle and bearings 5/16" out of the tube and Diff. Andrew http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=105241

MT, when you get the E brake lines from the jeep, clean them up and remove the brackets by opening them up. I made simple brackets from 16Ga sheet metal and screwed them in place next to the seat belt mounting plates. They are about 2" tall. The torque needed to secure them there causes the 'S'...

Here are the final pics and the brackets were actually moved forward 4.5". Andrew

A quick update, the E brakes will work as well. I used the cables to the calipers from the jeep and the duster cable from the tranny mount back. All I had to do now is re locate the supports about 2" forward and clip it all together. I did have to slot the cable to cable clip for the jeep end...

Not a problem, a plane ticket and $60,000 Ill be there in two days!:toothy10: Andrew

You are welcome Guys. I love a challenge, next a full rollcage and a 545RFE! Andrew

Here are the parts I used, I understand I spent money for stuff you guys probably dont need. The complete total was just under $500 and the satisfaction of solving a problem. Andrew BRAKE PARTS All of these parts are from or will fit Jeep Grand Cherokees 98-01, other years may work Rear...

Thanks, here are the final pics of the transplant. I will say this is going as slow as molasses. I still need one caliper rebuilding kit and one hose, will be in tomorrow. I will say that putting the axle in, requires removing the parking brake parts for access. And getting the race spacer in is...

I have created two gaskets for each side out of 1/64" fabric reinforced neoprene gasket material, and installed them between the axle tube and the dust plate and the disc backing plate. I used the metal crush gasket as the template, and secured them with black RTV. I then installed all the E...

MT, I think the E cable is the determining factor here. Wracks, yes they do its the means of securing the actual axles that is different. 8 1/4" uses C clips. Andrew

While the paint on the axle carrier gets hard, I set up the axles for the swap pics enclosed. I am using two adjustable retainers because I just happened to have two. Andrew
