Default Front brakes are smoked...swap question

I was driving my Jeep the other day, and I was swerving all over. Turned out a had a seized caliper.

Got it up in the air, pulled apart and gonna need calipers, pads, rotors and wheel cylinders (just starting to leak, shoes dry)

Since all had to be replaced, are WJ calipers/rotors direct bolt in, or do the knuckles have to be swapped too ??

I plan on a WJ booster swap soon as well, for now I need it back on the road as it's the wifes daily...

thanks !!

John

i'm pretty sure you have to swap the knuckles. but that's easy to do.
might as well swap out the steering links also.
