I have been doing a lot of searching about rear disc brake conversion for the XJ. i have a 2000 classic with the 8.25 that is in need of a rear brake job, and thought it would be good to upgrade to discs if i could do it cheep. Every thing I read is to use ZJ rear discs with slight modification or liberty discs. Problem is I am having really hard time finding any ZJ's, and all liberty's being parted out won't seperate brake parts from the axle. One place wanted $600 for the whole axle.
Any way I have seen numerous 99-04 grands being parted with reasonable prices on the whole rear axle. Can I use Parts from this era of Grand? there is little info on it for some reason. Has any one done this yet? And if so what was your experience?
And one more unrelated question. I am getting ready to install some Rancho 1.5" leafs that i bought used and cleaned up. I noticed the leaf eyes are the same size, while the stock ones have a much larger eye on the frame side of the leaf. Does anyone know why, and does it matter? thanks
