Question Conversion to Disk Brakes

How much of a job would it be to convert a 2000 explorer w/rear drum to 4 wheel disk? And how would ABS be affected?

Ask your Ford dealer. He's probably going to say forget it. The cost would be prohibitive.

Screw the ford dealer, what rear end does it have? You might be able too swap in a rear end from a crown vic, lincoln, or other car.

There is, but it takes about 400 bucks or more. The ranger sxles are the same thing as whats used in some of the cars.
