Hey everyone! I was hoping you all can tell me what the best donors are to convert my 99 XJ 8.25" over to disk brakes? I know you can use newer Libertys or certain year Grand Cherokees; but what years work the best (or at all)? Thanks!!!

 

I think I the liberty should just bolt right up. Just need ebrake line..

 

Are the Liberty rotors the same diameter as ZJ?

The other issue is that ZJs are much more plentiful in the salvage yards...

 

True but require modification to fit over the axle. There are a free threads here that discuss it very well. Its something I have planned unless I swap to the ford 8.8 rear end

liberty brakes work as do zj brakes searching yields all answers

 

The ZJ setup is pretty much bolt up on the 8.25. The only thing you would have to do is take inside of the disk brake mount and sand it down. Very easy to do.

 

Since ya'll on the subject, how about conversion for aD44. This would help me out. Thanks.
