Get some aftermarket cables that are made to fit the disc brakes into a XJ.

I have kits for both the 84-96 & the 97-2001 available at 119$ shipped. They are direct fitment.

I used the Crown DBC-05 cables on mine. Worked perfect. I don't have an 8.8 but I have the CV rear disc on there, both facing the same direction instead of offset.
