36 to 39 would need a drum change as they are the wide bolt pattern.

hi all; Just a note on the Bronco rears. The backing plates are indexed [rotated] for a high pinion angle and when you set up a flatter pinon angle ,it leave the wheel cylinders on an angle and trickier to then bled the air out. Newc
