Park brake cables, master cylinder and pressure differential switch for disk brakes. You'll also need proper offset rims since the 96 is 2 inches wider on each side.

There's nothing special about the rear end itself when compared to yours. They both have 28 spline axles. Why not just buy the disk brake parts and install them on your diff?
