Disk to Drum Conversion HELP!

Hello all,

As the title says I am cursed with rear drum brakes. I was wondering what parts do I need to convert to rear disk? I am trying to do this on my 99 f150 2wd 4.6 auto. I think the axle code is 19 if that helps. I also have 3.55 gears and an open diff.

Thanks for any and all info.

when you do this type of conversion with jeeps you swap the entire axle. i dont know if your axle works with disk brakes. just my .02

When i did the 'Stang I used parts off a Lincoln Continental...... Caliper brackets, rotors, calipers, proportioning valve........ If you could get these parts off a truck with discs up to an '04 Heritage.

I think you jeep guys like the 8.8 swap?

An Expy disc rear end is supposed to bolt into 97-98, maybe 99?

You can check this site but it looks kinda pricey to me.
