    Its time to redo the barkes on the cj5 and i know i could have either 11x2 or 10x2 shoes. How do i need to measure them to get the right ones?

    Also i have a disc brake front axle Im goin to use and swap the outers to replace my front drums. If i posted up a pick could someone I.D. them for the posible year? Or are there some measurments i could take from the rotor or bolt pattern for calipers etc to I.D. them?

    Knowing what year cj you have would be helpful. If stock and a 72-75 then you have 11" brakes. If a different year then measure the inside of the drums to be sure. If you post a pic of the disc brake setup you have we can probably I'd it for you
