Re: rear disk brakes
That's what I installed mine on, a Dana 44. You do need a Rubicon rear disk
brake combination spacer-retainer ring (I paid $4 for the pair) to make the
installation easier. Tera's kit includes a spacer ring that is a PITA to
position properly while bolting down the OE retainer ring.
To do it right, remove the old bearings on the axle shafts and install the
Rubicon spacer-retainer ring, then have new bearings and seals pressed onto
the axleshafts. I paid $20 to have that done since I don't have a press and
I didn't want to mess the new Timken bearings up. :)

Re: rear disk brakes
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. Its a mod I am considering, when I can afford do
work on the rig again - and after my two big trips this summer. =)
