family XJ said:Can this be done on the stock calipers since we all know the XJ brakes suck?
Yes. But to be fair - the XJ brakes were adequate for a stock XJ on 28.5 inch tires. Stopping an XJ with an added thousand pounds or more of bumpers, winch, skids, tools, parts, and tires and wheels that are Much bigger and heavier than stock therefore exerting their additional momentum through a larger arc - well, they just weren't designed for that. SO, don't you think if we're going to modify so many other aspects of our XJs we shouldn't be surprised at the need to upgrade our brakes as well?
