Yes but the 4" includes the fin overhang.

Again, the crucial measurement is the distance from the inside of the drum where It mates to the axle flange to the end of the friction surface. That has to be at least 3 1/16" but not wide enough to hit the backing plate.

A couple of guys here are saying the 2067DGS does work. But a guy from another site said they don't because the friction surface is too short.

I have a pretty good relationship with my local O'Reilly's. Maybe I'll see if they will order in both a set of the Jeep drums and a set of the 2067DGS and not have them charge me for what I don't buy. I think I'll try to do that Monday or Tuesday but I want to call the machine shop first and make sure he can do what I'll need done.
