Topic: WJ brake system for YJ???

[YJmechanic]

Anybody have the specifics on this swap?  Is it worth it?  What years?  What parts are swapped and which are adapted?  What is generally involved and round about price total?  I have heard a couple people doing it but wasn't sure the specifics.

i've seen some writeups on JU.  might want to check over there... it looks like a lot of work.  especially for a stock dana 30.

got it, love it, I'm doing it in a custom set up for a buddy's XJ without the cross over steering.

I'm using the first generation caliper, rotors from a Explorer Sport Trac, and have the Warn hub kit which spaces the wheels out which could be why I can clear my 15" rims without grinding.

Got the weld on spacer and tie rod, drag link, and jam nuts from JKS and run stock WJ tie rod ends.  The steering link I did flip to the top side of the knuckle.
