Reviews: G2 Disc Brake Conversion Kit (Natural) - 96-2049-DB

the only issue I encountered was that the factory steel 15" wheels dont have the proper backspacing to fit over the calipers,I had to install 5/8" spacers to clear.,and lengthen the wheel studs to accomadate the spacers. Kit works awesome with no master cylinder issues at all.

Very easy install and performance is awesome stops great

Installed on a 1989 Dana44 from an XJ. Simple install. Great kit. I did not need to change the master cylinder or modify the proportioning valve. Big difference in stopping power for my XJ on 35’s

I knew going in that making the e-brake function would be the only hiccup, and it was. Went together so smoothly and logically on my 8.25" rear end that I could have done it without the instructions if I had to.

This is a very nice kit to install disc brakes onto the rear of your Jeep. The Jeep I put these on is a 2001 Wrangler with the factory optional D44. The install was straight forward and went very quick. It came with braided flexible hoses which was nice. The calipers also have a very nice looking finish and the rotors were slotted. There are some things to keep in mind though. First is that you will need to press the bearings off the axle shafts to install a required spacer. It is not recommended to reuse the bearing lock collar so you will need to buy new bearing sets because I don't believe there is a way to get it separately. With the C clip style axles I don't believe this is an issue. Second is that the brake hose brackets are to be welded to the axle. No sweat if you have a welder of course but if you don't I don't know what you will do to attach the bracket. It would have been nice if the brackets could be attached with some hose clamps at least temporarily. That way you could safely drive it to a shop to have the brackets welded. Any muffler shop could do it quickly and inexpensively I'm sure. Finally 15 inch wheels are a very tight fit. The stock steel wheels wouldn't fit at all and my 15" Ecco wheels rubbed very slightly. I ground the calipers slightly for clearance and they now fit nicely but there would have been no way to get these to work with the factory steel wheels. If you can run 16 inch or larger wheels that would be best. Also don't forget to add in the cost of new parking brake cables. The Teraflex cables are $45 each but some OEM cables from a Grand or a Rubicon may do the trick for less. Over all a very nice complete kit.

I think the cost is too high 300$ would be good . I have 15in wheels fits np about 1in clear of brake cal If u have abs u will not be able to used abs. The gold bolts are not for stock they are for g2 axels Over all I like them if u got the money there worth it. Easy to put on the directions are hard to understand so I did not look at them lol

I was told by both 4WP tech and G2 that this kit is what is needed for a dana 44 out of a JKU. this is NOT true. I ordered and received this and have spent almost 2 hours just to get a hold of someone.
