Have you heard of the WJ knuckle swap!? Can accomodate larger rotors, word on the street is that you can still use your XJ rims. Of course nothing stops better than new brakes all around.
If you haven't done the rear disc swap it's a good idea. The drums are useless and fall out of adjustment fast IMHO, so double-useless.

He might have difficulty doing burnouts as seen in his avatar if he does the rear disc swap...LOL.
I'm still in the process of my rear disc swap. One fine day this week I'll get 'er done.

For the rear I did the 8.8 explorer with disks. one of the best mods ever BUT, after the mod, the rear was locking up before the front so I just bought slotted rotors with ceramic pads for the front. it evened things right up. I can lock up 34s on sticky surface now.
Highly recommended. from R1concept, it was very reasonably priced
