Default WJ front brake question.

I've been considering the WJ front brakes for my XJ to go with my ZJ rear discs. Is swapping the knuckle the only possible way to upgrade? Im not looking to upgrade my steering only my brakes. Any oppinions would be highly appreciated!

Not really worth the swap if you are just going to do the brakes. Calipers will not fit on your current setup.. so more work then worth.

TO do the swap really isnt that bad though.

Id like to upgrade just for better braking while towing my rzr. Are there any other options on front brake upgrades?
