Car Forum / Jeep / January 2007YJ brakes
I had a D44 rear installed in my '92 YJ. Brakes used were the ones from the D35 that was replaced. The brakes worked ok (but not great) with 32 inch tires. I'm now switching to 35's and would like to upgrade the brakes. Any thoughts concerning the best way of doing so, i.e., larger drums or maybe disk brakes, will be appreciated. I'd like to keep my 5 on 4.5 in wheels if possible. Thanks. Disc brakes are probably your best bet. What is your D44 from? Maybe the ZJ D44 disc brakes will work?

Anyway... for the best results... do a disk brake conversion.  SignatureJimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID, HEI 4.56 Gears, Lock-Right F&R 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, D30 Front.
