You don't need brakes!!!! Hold the pedal to the floor and the lockers will get you through Detroit lockers in front and rear are awesome. Believe me dude they are worth it!!!

since you have to go back into the diff to do the disk brake upgrade install i would do that all at once.....
Doing the booster upgrade and rear disc on my 93 w/33's was a big improvement. It was also less than $100 for all the parts from the local JY.

I guess I'll get the rear locker & brake conversion for right now...because I absolutely HATE messing around with drum brakes, and I have to take off the rear brakes anyway for the rear locker.
Im also heading to a local JY tomorrow...so I will see if they have a zj with some there...before buying online...

I wanted both lockers ALOT!...but I HATE those F***ing drums even more!

Thanks guys, for your opinions.
