rear disc

If you're planning on putting anything over 31s on your jeep ever dont bother spending a penny on the Dana 35.

You can pick up cheap Ford 8.8s and do a disc conversion on them.

95 and up explorer 8.8 have factory discs.i personaly have not had any problems with my dana 35.it is a DD and trail toy.it sees a lot of mud and i dont baby it 4L, 2nd gear, 5000 rpms.i dont play in the rocks so maybe thats why it is holding up

4 out of 5 of my Jeeps have 35's and no problems so far. The family and I wheel in the mountains, creeks and mud all the time and we're not to gentle with them. So far I've bent one (axle shaft) from my own lack of attention but other than that no problems at all. Put your disks on and don't drive beyond what your rig can handle. Slow and steady seldom breaks parts.

A ZJ with a D 35 disc brake should bolt onto your YJ.If they are both D35 and both have bolt in axles all of the brake parts should bolt on

Brake parts are different just got a set of axles from 92 yj backing plates on back are a different and has c clip holding axle in. Oh well that's y they make replacement parts.

A lot of the YJ's had interchangable parts with the XJ's maybe check some of those out.
