Converting rear drum brakes to disc brakes
When converting rear drum brakes to disc brakes, do the brake lines that were used on the drum brakes connect to the disc brakes? All I have to do is "change" the drums for disc and that is all, right?

I did find a manual on this, but they just simply connected the old drum lines to the disc brakes.

I need more input and opinion. Thanks.

My input is to not waste money on the d35. Converting it to disk brakes is a big waste of money. I think the swap is more involved than that.

x2, get an 8.8 with discs already on it... it may end up being more work, but you'll have a much better product when its all said and done.

Yes, You will want a 96 or older with the 31 spline axels. It is reccomended to change your master cylinder as well because of the increase brake fluid requirment. Brake lines will depend on the lift of you rig. -Sparky-
