Disc brakes for 9” - explorer if possible.

[landshark]

Looking to convert a ford 9” big bearing rear end to disc brakes, probably would prefer the explorer setup. Do not need ebrakes.

If only there s a member in Greeley that has a pseudo Explorer graveyard....

Unfortunately they don't bolt on to the HD axle. They can be made to fit though.

Yes, or you can order new ones from Currie. $80/rotor from them. I've got everything but the rotors and spacers. I have the 9" with Torino ends so it's bolt on for me. The spacers make up for the difference in the backing plate.

Yes and the axle tube ends have the torino bolt pattern. That is the same as the 74-75 medium duty axle.

You can buy a kit that has everything already converted which is the way I would go.

ok, i am trying to keep it easy to replace but i think most of the aftermarket kits will have stock parts amoung the custom ones..

Who offers said kit? My drums are in need of work and the oddball medium duty stuff is a pain to get locally.

If you have the medium duty rear end already, just strip everything off an 8.8. Then buy the rest of the pieces from Currie. You'll need the spacers, rotors and e-brake cables. You can either get the brake hoses from them or source your own from Napa. I'm getting ready to do this. I'll try to document it since I haven't found a good, complete write up.

Get. It all from pull and pay, new lines from Currie and spacer rings....cheapest route. Torino ends make it easy...key holing to fit larger is not too hard either
