While you are in the junkyard, go ahead and pull KJ Liberty rear disc brakes stuff and install on the 8.25 and pay only for the axle.

Easy there Nasty4.0... slow down, take a deep breath, and collect your thoughts before posting.
3.55:1 gears are stock behind the 4.0L with automatic transmission.
Tell us about your Jeep a bit instead of posting seven thousand one-line questions about random parts. Why do you want an AX-15? Do you have a BA10/5?

Just thinking in terms of solid materials ceramic is an insulator meaning it'll trap heat into the rotor, metallic substances will draw the heat away. Probably the reason ceramic pads can warp rotors under severe braking. I know heavy duty applications generally suggest semi-metallic.
Both of the ceramic pad sets(different manufacturers) I just put on said there was no bedding process necessary as they were treated at the factory...I still did some light stopping first to even out the pad to the rotor and then did a series of 40-0mph stops to heat them up good and then went for a 10 minute drive to cool them nice.

Yes, this is true. However, even an XJ on light-duty axles with 35s offroad still doesn't quite crest the "light/heavy" duty scales over to heavy. I.E. I wouldn't put them on anything beyond a 3/4 ton truck... probably not even then depending on how much you're towing/hauling.... at least not without dimpled/slotted or drilled/slotted rotors. Some would argue though that the rotors with extra venitllation cause the rotors and pads to wear quicker. Being as you never see anything but machined rotors and semi-metallic pads on vehicles with airbrakes, that's probably a substantiated assumption.
