I've begun restoring the brakes on my M170. I found 9", 10" and 11" brake shoes listed for the CJ6. My truck has the 9" (based on comparison to the new shoes I bought). Is it possiblele to put the 11" shoes in the truck without making changes to my hub or brake set up?

no, you will have to change the backing plates, new drums, lines and a few other parts. Herm the overdrive guy has a kit already to go.
