I also had to grind the rod flat so it would work with the old break switch.

I'm glad to hear the 95' BRAKE (I guess that's what we are doing in this thread, lol) booster fits as well, I had understood it was only the 96' booster that needed so little modification.

Did you have the bendix abs system to start with?

Don't matter upgrade still works in place of old Abs or non Abs under powered systems.

my booster came out of a 97+ xj.

i did have to unbolt the brake proportioning valve body from the booster and relocate it down near the frame where my stock one was, only because my stock brake lines only went to there. then just bent the one line with my hand to fit around to the opposite side of my master, and had a new line made up for the rear brake line to master.

and the obvious drill out the pedal rod and grind the end flat.

all in all was an very simple mod and brakes are killer crazy since.

and i still have drums on the rear, no plans for disc swap.

Well I asked because I read somewhere on naxja that the abs pedal assembly pulled thr rod too far out and that you'd have to do a pedal swap if you wanted to get the booster to work.
