Designed for Ford 9\" axles with 3.0\" tubes, it includes weld-on brackets, Ford 5-lug rotors (from an ’89 Bronco), calipers, pads, hoses, and even the small parts like line clips and tabs. It's a straightforward weld-on setup, chosen because Ford used multiple backing plate flange patterns over the years — this keeps it universal and reliable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc brakes improve stopping performance, reduce weight, and are far easier to service than drums. This setup works with 15\" steel wheels with a max 4\" backspacing or larger aluminum wheels. For slip-over rotors, you may need to machine the axle flange. Be sure to re-bleed your brakes and check if you need to remove any residual valves. A proportioning valve is strongly recommended to dial in proper front\/rear brake bias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParts Number: R2046\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Ford 9\" axles with 3.0\" axle tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes weld-on brackets, rotors, calipers, pads, hoses, and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses 5x5.5\" rotors from ’89 Ford Bronco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBanjo-bolt hydraulic hoses accept 3\/8\"-24 inverted flare hard lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves braking performance and reduces weight vs drum brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKit Includes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 weld-on disc brake brackets (3\" ID)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Ford 5x5.5\" bolt pattern rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 brake calipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 new brake pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 hydraulic hoses with banjo fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 weld-on brake line tabs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 brake line clips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n  .rs-jump-btn { display: none; }\n\n  @media (max-width: 991px){\n    .rs-jump-btn{\n      display:inline-block; width:100%;\n      margin:16px 0; padding:12px 16px;\n      border-radius:30px; font-weight:bold; font-size:16px;\n      text-align:center; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; cursor:pointer;\n\n      background-color:#c8102e; \/* red bg *\/\n      color:#fff;               \/* white text *\/\n      border:2px solid #c8102e;\n      text-decoration:none;     \/* no underline *\/\n      box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);\n      transition:background-color .3s, color .3s;\n    }\n    .rs-jump-btn:hover,\n    .rs-jump-btn:active{\n      background-color:#fff;    \/* invert on hover\/active *\/\n      color:#c8102e;\n      text-decoration:none;\n    }\n  }\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"#\" class=\"rs-jump-btn\"\u003e Start your selection \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNote\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRequires single steel wheel 15\" with a maximum of 4\" backspacing, or larger aluminum wheels. For slip-over rotors, axle shaft flange may need to be machined. Re-bleed the system after install. If your vehicle has a residual valve (internal or external), it should be removed to prevent rear brake drag. An adjustable proportioning valve is recommended to set proper front\/rear brake bias — front brakes should do ~70% of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RuffStuff Specialties","offers":[{"title":"No \/ Yes","offer_id":47581711859850,"sku":"R2046-Kit-1","price":528.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"No \/ No","offer_id":47581711892618,"sku":"R2046-Kit-2","price":484.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yes \/ Yes","offer_id":47581711925386,"sku":"R2046-Kit-3","price":715.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yes \/ No","offer_id":47581711958154,"sku":"R2046-Kit-4","price":671.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/5548\/8394\/files\/R2046-ford-9-inch-weld-on-disc-brake-conversion-kit-3-0-inch-axle-tube-ruffstuff-specialties-1.webp?v=1768616039","url":"https:\/\/pistontwistin.org\/products\/ford-9-weld-on-disc-brake-conversion-kit-3-0-axle-tube","provider":"Piston Twistin LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
