axle swap to explorer will brakes work fine (drum to disc)

[86freebie]

i just got my 8.8 rear end. it is probably 2 to 3 months away from getting in.( wrong gears and open) but my question is will i have brake problems going from drum to disc or will they work.

anybody that has done this, please advise what you had to do. or did not have to do.

found answer in tech library
"Brakes:

The 1990-1994 Explorer 8.8-inch axle came with 10-inch drum brakes. 1995 and newer Explorers have disc brakes. People have reported that they have swapped in a newer disc brake 8.8-inch axle in place of their original drum brake axle without having to switch to a disc brake master cylinder."

Up to the top. It's a good question and I'm kinda curious.

Somehow I thought I already responded to this....


I went from 10" RABS drum brakes to an explorer rear with disc's and never had an issue. They work great, never lockup on me and my truck stops great even rolling on 35" Krawlers (which are heaver then 39.5" TSL's!!!)
