I'm also converting to four wheel disk , mostly because now im 4 wheel drum and none of them work . I know theres a kit for disk brakes for a dana 44 just not sure what to take the doner brakes off , I'll find out and let you know .

 

I've been doing some browsing and found a build thread on a jeep forum.... From what I saw we can rob everything off a crown vic including the brackets, or you can get the brackets from a Rubicon and have to grind for proper fit instead of shim. Thats for the rear... now on the closed knuckle i have no idea. I'll do some diggin see if i cant help ya out.

 

Forgot to mention my next project you can see in the pic of the rear end... if you look careful its an 85 k5 blazer gonna put a 12v cummins in it 14bffs and 38s ofc my fund will have to build back up

 

New question.... how much would it be to go 4 link? Is there even a kit out there for it? Also got the axles painted flat black just waiting to find some flat orange for the inspection plates. Also ive decided to go with the sky kit after seeing that the 290$ ord kit comes with the exact same things... not getting a welder till Christmas so that puts a hold on progress. Ofc this Christmas will be amazing because ill be getting my truck together, and using the new welder. also made a trip to the junkyard today and got mostly what i needed for the driveline... just need to get the rear brakes off a crownvic

 

thats the best time to build something is in the winter as the weather limits to what you can really do anymore. hope you have heat for the garage.

 

This is the closest thing I've found for a 4-link kit that may work with our trucks. It wouldn't work well on the front though, the geometry is wrong for a steering axle. This kit may give you some ideas for rear brakes. It uses S10 4x4 calipers I believe with 1/2 ton rotors(since you're using a 6-lug axle)

 

JBB, did you notice what year(s) of a crown vic were compatible?

 

Sure didn't, but here's a link http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1045256

Also minimal progress waiting for my kit to come in, and funds to build up for random things.

 

Got the front end tore out, and all the old mounts sawed off/cleaned up... it looks so much better under the front end all Clean and what not I'm just doing some brainstorming and 2nd, 3rd guessing things am I going to need a high steer setup... Also what am i going to have to do to my crossmember for the new steering setup to work. I would like to not cut it out, but ive been thinking of just buying enough tubing to make a whole new front crossmember and the one that bolts to the tcase... Also the Sky offroad kit will be here on thursday i hope my welds are good enough lol. Ive changed my mind to 35s i got a set of bfg km2s for 100 bucks with about 30% life left so ill go higher if i need to.
Thanks again for everyones input i really do appreciate it. I'll be sure to overload yall with pics in the next 2 weeks.

 

I had to cut out my crossmember under the steering box to clear the pitman arm going forward. I made a new crossmember under the engine that cleared the axle and steering parts better.
