I think you are supposed to put them on the back of the axle and press the wheel studs through them.

Or if you want slip on rotors, get 96 tacoma rotors and grind down the OD of the axle flange so the rotor can slip over

yep just did this swap as i already had the parts. same brackets you bought.
i will try and find the thread i used. but you put the rotor on behind the flange and use 2wd front wheel studs through the rotor and axle flange.
and you will have to space the brackets back off the axle about a 1/4 of an inch.
getting the bearing pocket and drum backing plate is the hardest works well if you put two of the bolts back in the bearing pocket and slam the axle down on a piece of wood, only after you have removed the c-clip holding the pocket on

Sounds like this is what your trying to do. Very detailed write up about it here. Your gonna need a dif. master cyl. (1" bore) and a proportioning valve to get them right just as a heads up.

This is what i used, starts at the bottom of page 1 but he listed all parts used, puting the studs through the rotor then flange was a little sketchy at first but been driving it this way for a month or two and no failures or un-even wear yet.
