Yea im wondering about the rear too. I wrote a question about this yesterday without an answer. What do you mean you "bypassed the stock proportioning valve and joined the front brake lines" but you have a adjustable proportioning valve. What does bybassing it do?

What are the benefits of doing this?
fox body brakes are a joke! the benefit is better braking

so what all did u need to do the rear??? the short ranger axles, then just the sn95 mounting plates, calipers, rotors, & dustshields???
i already had it converted to 5 lug drum using ranger axles and drums. i bought a kit made by ssbc that included the mounting brackets, dust sheilds, calipers and brackets, brake lines, ect. but yes u can use the parts off of the sn 95 rear but the axles are little bit longer so u need an offset wheel so use ranger axles

What do you mean you "bypassed the stock proportioning valve and joined the front brake lines" but you have a adjustable proportioning valve. What does bybassing it do?
the stock proportiong valve on the fox it not set up for rear disc resulting in not enough pressure for rear disc, so u do away with the stock proportioning valve and use an adjustable proportioning valve for the rear brakes. mm sells the proportioning valve for like $45 and the kit to bypass the stock proportioning valve for like $20. i had to join the 2 front brake lines becuz the fox mc is a 3 port and the sn95 is a 2 port.

hope this helps

Could you get me some pictures of how you did the prop. valve bypass and the joining of the front brake lines? Ive never seen it done that way and it seems to be a much cleaner install that gutting the stock prop valve and adding an adjustable.
