im haveing issues with the brakes on my 96 brakes arent strong enough to hold on opsticles any upgrades that are orth doin or tip to get better power out of my brakes

 

look up the wj knuckle/brake swap. you get a better steering setup and dual piston calipers. also look up rear disc brake swap. those two things together will make a HUGE difference

an upgrade might work, but if your brakes aren't holding you still, you likely have a faulty master cylinder or booster.
or a simple flush and bleed.

how does your pedal feel?

 

What about replacing your pads and shoes? Maybe have your rotors and drums turned too.

 

Start with some basic maintenance on your brakes.

Condition of the pads/shoes?
Condition of the rotors/drums
Is there any oil or brake fluid on the pads/shoes?
Got a leaky rear axle shaft seal?
Are the adjusters rust free and free to move?
Fluid level in brake fluid reservoir been checked lately?
Any recent mods/repairs performed that would affect the brakes?

 

Bigger brake booster from a wj?

 

True, how does it feel? This will help with either booster or master cylinder, leak, bleeding. Pedal to the floor, or pedal hard to push? Hard to push, booster. To the floor, first check for leaks, then bleed, still to the floor, replace master cylinder.

 

Cherokee brakes: My best friend and I talk about this more than anything. Like a never ending story.

 

About time someone brought this up !

My XJ wouldn't stop worth a damn, So I tore it apart and found a blown wheel cylinder and really dirty fluid I replaced the rear brakes did a flush and it'll damn near throw to threw the windshield if you slam on the brakes with the 33's

 

well when i built the jeep it got all new brake stuff the only thing i didnt replace was the master cylinder and booster the pedal feels good it doesnt stop bad it could be better and im only running 33s just wont hold will do brake stand just wont hold on steep stuff
