I found a rear disc brake set up on a 96 ZJ for the rear conversion for my 01 XJ. Will the proportioning valve from the JZ work with the XJ? If not which proportioning valve should I use?
Thanks

SeriousOffroad

Yes it will.

Codyxj

Thank you.

How difficult is enlarging the hole in the ZJ back plate??

SeriousOffroad

Easy. Use a coarse sanding drum.

Codyxj

And that's all i will need to do to make it work right?? No welding/cutting/fabrication or making sweet sweet love to it??

You still might have to do the last part... but otherwise not really.

You will have to do something about the E-brake cable.

Codyxj

Ha Ha!!
Do i need a new cable?? Or just the mount?

razor02097

Neither...

You have to trim the ears on the retaining clip because the mount flange is thicker. Also the cable itself might be too long. You might either shorten it or find some way to loop it.... I know there is a thread somewhere about it.... let me find it.

Awesome thanks! I am going to be putting a 4.5 RC on it in the next couple of months. Would it be the better option to leave it the same length and loop it like you said?

razor02097

If it where me I would replace the cable with something that would work. Or get the stock one shortened. That way if god forbid I needed the e brake I know for a fact it would work.

Does it make any difference that i have a Dana 35c? That thread is for an 8.25.

I think the only difference is you can skip the "dremel the backing plate" step.

Codyxj

I won't need to widen the backing plate hole at all??
