Default Brake upgrade question

I know it has probably been asked a thousand times but I wanted to know if there were some cheap or like "junkyard" parts I could put on my jeep's braking system to make it stop better. I have 33's on and it seems to have a very long stoping distance.

dont waste money on upgrading the turdy5. I would suggest you buy a 29 spline 8.25 and put zj disks on it, look it up for more info, OR you could get an 8.8 with disks already on it and with 4.10 gears

Yes you would have to do the front gears as well then and the 8.25s are the other axles in xjs there were 27 and 29 spline versions the later models got the 29
