Welcome to TGO, selly. BTW, posting the year, make, model, engine, trans and so on is helpful to those who wish to answer your questions. For example, I'll assume you have a 10-bolt rear.

Since the axle flanges are different from drum to disc, you'll either need to use a kit like the one in the following link:

or modify the flanges like those below:

Moreover, for best brake performance, choose the combination valve appropriate to your set-up.
