It’d be nice if they made dual piston high quality aftermarket calipers like Brembo or SSBC for Dana axles. If your wheel is dragging, you might have a seized or binding caliper.

I have a Dana 30; I'm rebuilding it now, replacing lots of components to include the calipers. Crown makes a great (new construction) caliper. It wasn't too expensive. I painted it with VHC caliper paint and it looks great, the pistons move well. My biggest suggestion to you is try and stay away from remanufactured components.
I also got new rear and front brake lines from Morris 4x4: https://www.morris4x4center.com/cro...brake-lines-kit-2-3-orange-ci-jp10fr03or.html
Hope that helps.

The only thing I can think of is the 5 or 6 bolt variations of the hubs. I converted to the older style 6 bolt which keeps the same brake rotor on my 82 CJ and they said I can use that kit. You can ask Wildwood directly from their website, they respond within two to thee days via email or call them. You might just have a different caliper setup on your 79.
