My stock front end diff needs some serious work before the 4wd is operational. So, I am considering replacing the diff with a "used" one from another CJ5 . The replacement has disc brakes and my original had drums. So, here's the question. Do I need to convert the brakes to power in order to get the proper amount of braking from the rear drums?
I am concerned the back brakes will not even function if I install discs in the front.
I know some of you have dealt with this issue, so what should I do?
