Best rear disc kit for the money using the BB 76-77 9 inch rearend

[Got4wd]

All looks good and they fit great. Yes the caliper is on the wrong side but it doesn’t effect anything for mock up.

If this works my plans for a new rear axle just changed.

Love it. Is yours a big bearing HD rearend or the big bearing med duty rearend (torino)?

Awesome, same thing I have.

Any idea when they will be ready to purchase?

I would say real soon. Just waiting to hear back from range. It will go into production and needs to be anodized.

Thanks for bulldogging this and quickly to boot.

I'm interested as well.

I’m trying to figure out what centering ring I need to get for the rotor. I posted a thread about it in tech so if anyone is running aftermarket axles please help me out there.

They're not all the same so that they'll correctly pilot the drum?

Wouldn’t they be the same since they index onto the drum Or is that’s what you meant? That’s my thought At least

 

[ntsqd]

That is what I meant. All drums for SF axles, that I'm aware of, pilot off of that feature on the axle.

My Currie axles have 2.78" register.

I see these are up for sale @ range. Are 17" wheels required?

ya they word it a little odd IMO? i think they mean 17" wheels are required but you may still have clearance issues with the wheel face. they have a few typos on the site. drives me nuts! lol

i'd love to see more install pics and instructions. the "toggle" switch in their pics looks lame

 

[ntsqd]

The easy Rule of Thumb is that the wheel must be 3" larger in OD than the rotor. A 12" rotor needs a 15" wheel, etc. There are ALWAYS exceptions and usually those arise from the shape of the caliper used and from the contour of the inside of the wheel chosen.

Gotcha. Pretty reasonably priced. I've seen a lot of guys use parts they make for F100's and they look pretty decent.

Exactly what I thought when I saw that toggle switch, surely they could spend the time to find something better. I looked at the instructions for the 8.8 for an idea on install/wiring.

So have you driven your bronco with these yet?

I’m guessing this is the kit you guys are talking about? Currently I’m still running 28 spline axles with the sealed bearings in my my 77 axle. Will this kit work with what I have or do I need to swap to different 31 spline set 20 axles? I’m already running 17’ wheels with 35’s

I think they are coming up with something better for the switch. The wilwood one is nice but 400 bucks.

My understanding is that it should. I am interested but that means I will also have to switch out brand new 15” wheels and 35” rubber to run the new kit. It will require at minimum a 17 wheel
