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!

Really drums stop better than disc? i didnt know that. I just did an SAS on my pickup i got the fj60 front rotors and used my IFS calipers.. its in the shop right now getting finished im running the toyota v6 drive tarrain with an M37 duel T-case toyota axles. i just had 38s on it with 8 inches in the front 6 in the rear. were redoing that right now so i can clear 42 inch michilins which are a VERY heavy tire with 38s i ran the solid rotors that came with the 83 front axel and no rear breaks at all it stoped but not well. now that im running the 42s i need to finish my upgraded front and to do something with the rear i assumed disc rear would be my best bet correct me if im wrong.

Here is a picture before i put it back in the shop last week
-Solid rotors single case no gears no front drive shaft 8 inches in the front 38s


-with the new lift and michlins and duel cases i need to upgrade my breaks i just bought the stuff for the front fj60 front rotors and IFS v6 calipers now i need to redo the rear.

You need the FF setup.

the FF setup?

NVm full floater i drew a blank.. why is that one better than just the basic swap?

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.
