SO i'm looking at having to do a complete rebuild of the rear brakes on my 97 F150 XLT. Everything is worn down and needs to be replaced. Has anyone done a swap to disk brakes. I searched but couldn't find anything. I've done this on Jeeps before but not on a F150. Hell I dont even know what model axle I have. I guess I am starting from scratch and any info would help.

 

probaly a 8.8 ..... is it round or egg shaped?

 

Ill post up a pic tomorrow when I get some day light.

 

Get a 99 rear dif with everything even the cables and brackets for ebrake, keep in mind abs or rabs in costs and mods.

 

uhhhhh my 99 has drum brakes

 

I have a '99 with disc brakes.

 

'99 was the first year for rear disc brakes and it was optional on all models except Lariats. Even my dad's "value edition" XLT had rear discs. I've seen 00'+ with drum brakes but mostly on XL's

 

cool i have the 8.8 rear I will go to the pick n pull and see if I can get a full rear out of a F150. Anyone know if the master cylinder is different?

 

Yes the master cylinder will be different, you'll need one thats made for rear discs
