Rear drum to disc brake conversion for CJ7 amc 20 w/one piece axles

[THEDIRTYCJ7]

I'm getting ready to do a rear drum to disc brake conversion for my CJ7. It has an amc 20 w/one piece axles. I've seen the kits but I am unsure which one I will need. Since I have SSBC up front disc brakes I am leading towards that kit, I am also going to put in a new power brake and master cylinder as well. Any constructive advice is more than welcome, or has anyone done this before? I'm well aware that some creative mods will be needed to do the install. Thanks everyone in advance......

Will the kit have some kind of ebrake?

Almost all kits for rear brakes takes that into consideration. So yes. But I might just cut out the floorboard and go Fred Flinstone on it!

I carry a 4x4 wooden block for an ebrake or if it's a real emergency I aim for something cheap.

how about buying a rear axle with discs and matching gears form a junkyard?

I spent to much money on the OX rear locker-so no swapping. It doesn't matter anyway because after more research and talking to my fellow AZ jeepers the hassle isn't worth it. So the plan now is to install power brake booster w/adjuster portioning valve and flush the all brake lines then bleed new fluid in to it. Installing next week.

Let us know if that does the trick...
