I have a Set of WJ Rear Disc Brackets and Calipers. I was wondering is it possible to modded it to work? Do I need the Spacers that u have?
Here are the pics...

| What rotors are you intending to use with them? You need to know what the rotor offset is on both and then you know if spacer is needed or not. You should be fine as far as axle position as the WJ should have the same as another Dana axle. |

Im planning on using WJ Rotors or ZJ if possible. So we will see when I start on the future project...
Thanks

| Much better in this case to run the WJ rotors as well and re drill for your stud pattern. The reason is that the WJ is 305 mm tall and 75.5 mm overall width and the ZJ only 285 mm tall and 59.5 mm wide. Also that would make sure also that the hand brake assembly is the correct size for the rotor too. I dont know anyone that has used a WJ rear yet but cannot see why it would not bolt on the same? No spacers should be needed either. |

Im just worried about the Hat and the Shaft wont come in contact to each other. Hope it fit the 15x10 wheels I have... :shock: |

| GoJeep, do you see any benefit in going with WJ rear discs over ZJ rear discs? |

For sure, leverage is everything in brakes. 
It wont be as dramatic as the front coversion due to the weight transfer, but I changed from a ZJ size to a WJ size ( with the Falcon parts ) and noticed a difference. |
