converting a 1998 to rear disc brakes
Does anyone have a parts list of what it takes to convert the rear drum brakes on a 1998 F150 5.4V8 XLT Supercab, 9.75 rear axle, to disc brakes?
Thanks |
Yes - I am very interested on this retrofit fit too. Parts aplenty in the junkyards |
You will need a 9.75 disk brake rear end with the same gear ratio as you are running. And the longer passenger side eBrake cable. That is it.
Oh and be aware 2000 and up will have larger studs. 97-99 have 12mm and 2000 -2003 have 14mm |

Should I interpret this to mean that these rear ends are found on the 2000+ models?
EDIT: Here... Maybe THIS will help. .. |

He has a 98 witch is 12mm if he gets a 2000 or newer it will have 14mm studs and his wheels won't fit.

I screwed up. Reverse my words. It's all here now though, just a matter of degree. He could even swap axles couldn't he?

At some point they changed the splines on the rear axels but I am not sure what year that was.
