I was wondering if there is a way to figure out your brake size aside from obviously taking off the wheels and measuring. I have the Cherokee Country 96, 2wd, was it an option when the original owner bought the vehicle or would every Cherokee country have the same size, 9 or 10"? I have the Chrysler 8.25 rear axle if that helps, any help would be appreciated!

9" is standard unless you have the police package

Thanks a bunch about the answer, maybe you can answer one more thing for me. teamcherokee.com has a rear dana-35 drum service kit for cherokee's 1990-2001. I have the chrysler 8.25 axle would it make much of a difference with the axle? I know the dana has a 3" axle but how does that pertain to the brakes? FYI I did email teamcherokee.com with the same question, I have just yet to hear a response.

in my experiences the brakes are the same between the D35 and 8.25 9" drums all the hardware is the same.
