Default Brake upgrades

Hat can I do to make my Cherokee stop a little quicker? It's a 2000 with 31s. I know a guy with a built fox body and he used Chevy truck wheel cylinders is this something I can do?

Do a ZJ rear disc upgrade. Since you have a 29 spline 8.25 rear, just take the brakes off a 93-98 Grand Cherokee with rear discs and open up your plate a bit. Aside from a 1/2 hour of grinding it's a bolt on upgrade. If you want more stop in the rear then take the O ring out of your stock proportioning valve or swap the prop walve from the donor gran in to your brake system, again bolt on.
I did and noticed a much stronger response all around. Very happy!

If you still want mor up front then follow the above mentioned idea of ZJ fronts.
I personally don't see a need for it until 33s or larger. I'm sure others would agree.
