i changed my answer. but does the 99 have i beams. probably but they are probably a ball joint type of setup. with a upper and lower ball type of deal. so will the ibeams from the 99 fit on the bump? if you can get away with it woulod the disc brake caliper holder bolt to you exsisting spindles. if it will. then you have to figure out if the disc will fit your spindles. and so on. there are going to be alot of differences to make that swap. look both of them over. make some measurements. then that will tell you if the swap is even possible. i think its more trouble than its worth. get a dentside and use those parts.
