KJ brake swap, and other questions.

[sinat01]

So in a few weeks im going to do a KJ brake swap on my 8.25. I already have the backing plates and wanted to check on parts I needed to order due to other threads about it saying different things.
Parts im going to order
2003 KJ
rotors
pads
calipers
parking brake shoes
parking brake hardware
2003 Grand Cherokee soft brake lines
The flop shop offroad parking brake line adapter

Does all this look right?
What did you use?
also, what length T-bolts should I order? (for the backing plate studs)

Another question, Lunchbox lockers for the 8.25
Spartan

Jeep specs:

I noticed in your thread there was a discussion on swapping master cylinders to a 1 1/16th bore. did you end up doing that?

Every time I've done it I just used 2 passenger side Liberty brake hoses. I don't think I ever had to swap out the t-bolts for the backing plates or the wheel studs on my axle shafts. I have always used steel wheels though. With aluminum wheels you'll want longer wheel studs.

What e-brake cable is that?

Yes, I used the Dodge Durango 1-1/16" master cylinder.

I got the cables from MORE.

Are you happy with that master? Have you done the WJ brakes yet?

 

[RCP Phx]

Yes and Yes! I did the WJ/KJ brake upgrade that's why I moved up to the Durango MC!

How do they mount to the E-brake handle? Do they hook up to the spliter on the side rail or in between the rails like older XJs?

 

[chickenbot]

and how much lift can they be used on?

 

[RCP Phx]

They hook up at the splitter just like the factory, they make the earlier model also and are longer than stock and will work with most lift heights.

I have 4.5" lift and still have plenty of e-brake cable left with stock drums. and if I move up to the bigger MC does that help braking power also? and what year Durango?
