C-clip axles are not desirable for off road use because if the axle shaft breaks the entire axle will fall out. The Dana 35 is a C-clip axle.

The ones ya have to remove the back of the chunk to pull the little clips off the ends of the axle shafts to remove.

Hate to sound like a DA, although I will admit to occasional lapses... what is a C-clip axle?

I've never converted a c-clip axle to disc brakes before.

A Dana 44 is not a "C Clip Axel"...... Why is it Colorado Jeepers are not concerned with a parking brake! ?, LOL

Keep us posted on your project, I'm considering the same thing as my 3A doesn't brake as well as I would like.

Do a google search for "CJ3A DIsc Brake GEO TRACKER". There's a guy that sells the brackets cheap. He also writes on some facebook sites. I don't remember his name but I think he's in Colorado. The conversion bolts on and uses 1994 GEO Tracker calipers and rotors.

I think the front Chevrolet calipers on the rear would be way too much braking force on the rear of a CJ-3A.

Hey all,

Got an offset D44 that I would like to throw some discs on. Been searching the internet and have seen a few things here and there but nothing too solid.

Looking for the cheapest way to go about it, don't care about a parking brake.

I know of a company called Ruffstuff that makes a universal weld-on caliper mount. And I'm sure I could get away with some '73-'87 1/2 Chevy calipers and pads.

Curious on the rotors and studs though and how/ what those would actually attach to.

I'm used to converting full float axles and staking the rotor to the hub with the wheel studs. I've never converted a c-clip axle to disc brakes before.
