Hmmmm.....I suppose u could use the basics if you wanted to do ALOT of work...really wouldnt be worth the trouble unless u did it all yourself and had alot of knowledge of what you are actually doing....

I really dont think you have thought it through, your front discs use a hub that bolts onto the discs, which means the disc sits on the stub axel. Every rear disc brake setup i seen uses a floating disc with the hub being part if the axel. Anything is possible but the fabrication costs would be astronomical. It would be cheaper to buy a diff (e.g borg warner) with a disc brake end setup, and shorten that and have the brakets welded on and you would prob still walk out with change in ur pocket over the other option.

In short, yes, but it depends. It would be a floating system. You'd need to make sure the internal diameter of the rotor hat fits over the axle hub face (and clears other suspension bits). Of course you'd need to make a caliper bracket and for simplicity use a caliper with an integral handbrake function - these are invariably heavy and shit.
