I was just wondering if anyone knows of a kit to do this for an 02 Renegade. Rusty's has a kit for the 8.25" rear and says it will work on any jeep that has the 8.25" rear but if you talk to them they say that it won't work on the KJ anyone got any ideas?

Thanks folks feel free to respond or pm me

You will need the rear disc brake backing pads form a 4 wheel disc KJ('04 works great) that include the parking brake.You will need both rotors,calipers,and pads.The fun part is swapping to the rear disc parking brake cables,you will need the 4 wheel disc brake proportioning valve also.If you have ABS you will need a new ABS pump for a 4 wheel disc brake KJ,will have to be bleed and programmed at the dealership.

I have often thought about swapping out to disc but my drums work great and I have never had any problems with them. :SOMBRERO:
