XJ Disc Brake Upgrade.
I have heard that you can put ZJ rear disc brakes on a XJ. Is this true? If so what years and what parts are needed? Will it work on all XJ's? Is there a write up on here already that explains how to do this upgrade?
Thanks

In short form, find a ZJ and take everything for the rear brakes.

The swap to a D35 is a direct bolt on with no mods. To an 8.25 it is the same accept the center opening has to be enlarged slightly to accommodate the 8.25. If you do a search on this site and Google you will

ZJs also came with a 44. Might not have to do the welding but not sure I put them on a turdy five and it was a bolt on thing. Now if they just worked on my 60.
