Brakes:
1. WJ brake booster
2. WJ Master Cylinder
3. YJ Brake Lines = 3-4" longer
4. Dodge Ram Van Brake Lines = 10-12" longer (for big lifts)
5. WJ Rotors/Calipers = bigger brakes and more stopping power (will fit 15" rims)
6. ZJ brake booster, master cylinder, proportioning valve = may need for disc conversion
7. XJ '95+ brake booster and master cylinder = dual diaphragm
8. Dakota Rear Softlines ('95-00) = 6" longer
9. GM C/K1500 Front Softlines ('90-95) = 6" longer
10. KJ disc brake set-ups can be used for a conversion on your XJ axle

i have a 4.5" lift what brake lines should i go with the yj that r 3-4 longer or the dodge ram van brake lines and does it matter what year i get them off of or should i go with the gm k15 brake lines thanks for the help

Anyone know a resource for a completr wiring diagram for all the features of the XJ? Specifically, I am trying to figure out how the overhead console hooks into the system, and what wires, if any, need to be added into the cowl wiring to add fog lights. The wiring for the additional switches were all included in the dash, but I dont kniw what pinouts on the wiring harnesses to use.

I have also found a number of additional connectors that serve no apparent purpose and would like to learn their function. Im trying to add as many stock features as possible to my jeep, minus power windows and locks.
