Best From Disc Brakes & Pads for 2000 Lifted Cherokee on 35s?
My front brakes are starting to make noise, and take a bit of abuse from my 35x12.50" tires...My question was what is the best aftermarket brake rotors and pads for a 2000 XJ 4x4?
Specifically because of the increased tire load, and I'm running black steel wheels.
Thanks CF!!

The best braking you'll get out of a stock setup, is centric rotors and black magic pads. MrBlaine (black magic brakes) has done a huge amount of research on jeep brakes for every application, in every scenario... from DDs to KOH rigs.

I replaced mine with PowerSlot Rotors and Hawks Pads.....overrated if you asked me.
I would have gone with Napa Premium if i will to do it again.
You might want to look into a Rear Disc Brake Conversion.

Who cares where the thread is... somone else will ask the same question in 45 mins anyway, and not even search....
X2! my chevy 1/2 ton brakes where worth the axle swap alone lol
^ Posibly the best advice in this thread....
IMO putting "upgraded" pads on is a bandaid and with how much more they are then stock (OEM) regular pads I don't think its worth it. the real benefits in upgrading brakes comes from Bigger friction surface area(bigger rotors/pads), or a better clamping force (bigger/better calipers, or master cylender)
Changing the rear to disk will help take some of the load off the front... But like Most people with Drum brakes, a good clean and adjsut makes a huge difference as peple don't keep up with adjusment. I don't care to swap to a Disk rear as my drums work well, and the E-brake is already there... but I have a waggy D44 rear so the Ford/jeep disk conversion is not an easy thing for me....
any who good Luck!
