I bought this kit from SSBC threw a dealer on here. It says 92-98 on kit but works on 99. It’s a rear disc conversion kit that replaces the rear drums and lines. The instructions lack a little information but you can manage if you have a Haynes manual and the bolts and washers should have been marked separately. If you have no problems in removing the old parts you can replace it all in about 6-8 hours with two people and if you don’t drink too much on the job. the only major problem I had was the supplied rear brake lines were 8-10 inches to long on both side and the threaded fittings were not the right ones so had to put the extra ones the kit had, on and when installed to the transfer unit above the rear diff (the little block with the line feeding from the front) they still leak a little maybe a tear drop a day so nothing to bad. The kit didn’t come with a rear diff gasket so had to get one and gear lub. Overall I am happy with the conversion they make a huge difference in braking and the E-brake works with the kit. There is also a bolt you will to remove in the distribution block and remove the spring and seal on it, then replace the bolt (very easy part).
Instructions lack picture detail and directional arrows and things like that but you can manage its just messing with brake lines are always a pain to do.
1) Kit price was $1200 I had the calipers painted black but you can get different color if you want
2) Diff gasket was $8.46
3) I used about 2 and half bottles of gear lub I think it was 80w don’t remember for sure but they were $9.98 a bottle
4) you will need a bottle of brake fluid for you will be replacing the master cylinder I only used about half the bottle but had some so don’t know price on that
5) Then there was the beer expense
Any questions just ask I have pictures on my album and I am sure there are things I forgot to say but this is my first thread
