There's a conversion kit on Summitracing's site but it's pricey. I know
a number of Jeeps with the 8.25" rear end came with discs, so in theory
I suppose you could swap the hardware across but brake lines might be an
issue as well as e-brake cables. I also don't know how this would
affect the ABS system if you have 4 wheel or rear wheel ABS.
