Rear disk brake kit?

Hi, I am considering buying a kit for retrofitting a rear disk brake system to my 2001 XLT 4X4 4.0L Off Road. Is there anyone out there that has done this? Is it something I can do in my garage, or should I have a professional do it? While I am fairly mechanically competent I figure there might be something that a professional would know that I wouldn't. Plus my eyesight isn't the greatest these days, and I don't want to end up with parts missing or left over.

You should buy up an Exploder 4wd rear.

Is it worth it? Maybe, but the 10" drums you have (I have 'em on my SuperCab, too) are more than enough, since there is little weight to even make those sweat it.

www.stainlesssteelbrakes.com sells a kit for around $700 I think.
