Hi Sir-camel,
Bonded exchange brake shoes from your local brake shop. Jeep want a fortune for factory shoes.
I don;t think anyone bothers replacing wheel cyl seals, just replace wheel cyl. If it needs seals it probably needs cylinder too.
Wheel cylinders from Suburban, maybe exchange shoes too. I think they have aftermarket ( better) alternative wheel cyl to Jeep for lower price.
Get drums machined only if necessary at your local brake shop.
It is a tradition that Jeep drums are flimsy and prone to go out of round quickly. Once machined, they are thinner and go egg shapped even faster. IMHO don't bother machining unless they are noticably a problem. New drums are expensive too.
Maybe try the usuals such as Mascots etc.
Cost for disk convert is cheap but paperwork is expensive.
I still think it is worth it for the much better brakes. I would never change back.
