To help answer your question, it would be good to know a little more about why you want to convert to discs. Because you heard they stop better on the internet? Drum brakes actually do have more stopping power. Discs are easier to live with though - easier to adjust, easier to change pads, lighter, etc.
If you 'wheel your truck hard, I recommend converting to full float:

As you can see in the post above, the big problem is maintaining the ebrake and there are a number of ways to do that - all with their own drawbacks. Be sure to do plenty of research on tcase ebrakes - they are VERY sensitive to setup and breakin!

Because in the stock setup, there is really only one press-fit bearing holding the wheel on and the axleshaft bears both the drive torque and the weight of the truck. With the size (and especially the weight) of the tires you are looking at, the reliability of having 2 tapered roller bearings holding the wheel onto a spindle would be a VERY good idea. With a FF setup, the spindle bears the weight of the truck and the axleshaft bears the torque.
