If you are happy with stock truck brakes and can find the wheels you want 5x5 maybe the easiest option.
You'd have to see what the difference in overall width is, then compensate that to fit the change in width from the rear disc conversion. Most brake conversions change the track width by at least a small amount due to the bracketry. At that point you'd be better off doing a disc brake setup meant for the 9" at whatever track width you need, then get axles and rotors stubbed/drilled for your bolt pattern. No reason to do a conversion-on-top-of-conversion.

Also, no reason you have to keep stock truck brakes for 5x5. See all of CaptainFabs rear disc conversion options.
