isnt worth it youd have to buy one convert to leaf spring mounts or conver the car to 3 link like the rear end and the 7.5 10 bolt is weak but what you can do is bolt the 4th gen brakes on a old school 10 or 12 bolt rear end click here and go to brakes

Tough job. About six inches wider, disc brakes with metric fittings. Completely different emergency brake setup, coil springs, axle tubes are smaller so swapping spring perches would be a chore.
