These are somewhat random. But I figured I would just ask in one thread.

I have a 94 ZJ AWD V8 5.2

1. My brakes, I just replaced them. Not sure the type. From local parts store. like napa. They squeak when stopping. (Makes me want to ) What kind do you prefer? And where can I find them?

2. Rear disk brakes. Is that possible? If so how?

3. Receiver hitches. Is there a certain kind the would be good? and where can I find them? Will a universal work? Like from Autozone.

4. What lift kits are good? I want a 3in super flex. But I need a good 3in. Which is best?

5. Really odd question but I have to ask. When you go wheeling. How much gas to you put in your jeep? Cuz a full tank weighs alot. But a quarter would leave you stranded. The weight of you jeep determines alot. With that being said I feel like most will say a half tank. But I just have to ask.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Brakes I like to get a good brand. I think napa does sell good stuff. (Mikey says they do) Also I generally get new rotors or have them turned if possible makes a big difference.
Rear disks are possible but its a bit of work. best if you could find a rearend that came with them and swap it out.
I would not be worried about getting a hitch from a parts store. They have to have a rating on them and a cherokee is not rated for pulling huge amounts. should be able to get one that bolts right on with minimal of labour.

Lift kits I have no idea. I do like my bds kit. Mine is only a 2" but I found out later they offer a 4" as well. (kinda ticks me off as I wanted the 3")

I personally always fill my tank when I go somewhere. its pretty low in the vehicle and I doubt its going to bother much, might even help. But then I don't wheel like of these guys.

What year and model would I look for for the rear end swap?
And I dont plan on pulling alot of weight. mainly for pulling people out of the mud. Thats how I got my bumper ripped off. lol.

1. Nice slow cut on the rotors and then a micropolish
2. 1995 started using disc brakes. V8 so my guess is you have 3:73 gears.
3. Hitch is rated 5,500lbs V8 Jeep owners manual says it can tow 6,500lbs with the tow package and comprehensive coverage and life insurance policy
4. Haven't lifted my ZJ yet.

xtreme velocity

you want to give me your rear end off yours?

Plan-B

ha no sir.
i think something is loose back there though...

xtreme velocity

That means its crying to be on my 94. lol. What part loose?

Plan-B

dunno

RRAM

mine is a V8 and I am pretty sure its has 3.55 gears.

xtreme velocity

Is my 94 the same as yours? and can i just find a 95 or newer V8? and if i were to go to a junk yard how would i tell the gear ratio?

Disc breaks started in '93 as a option on all ZJ's, I have a '94 Limited with disc's from the factory..

nick_n_ii

All 4.0L with the auto will have 3.55 gears, and the V8's will have 3.73 gears..

nick_n_ii

And all ZJ's can swap rear end with no problem...

xtreme velocity

What about the gear ratio? can anyone prove this to me? Now i got one guy sayin i have 3.55 and another sayin 3.73. i would think it was the 3.73 but i dont know?
