zj rear disc question

i found for sale a rear disc setup off a 98 grand cherokee. Does it matter if the grand cherokee had abs and my xj doesn't or will it still work?

What year is your XJ and what axle do you have? I assume that you have a Dana 35 rear axle and you are getting the brake assemblies off of a Grand Cherokee with a Dana 35 as well. If that is the case, you should be able to use brake assemblies from a ’93 to ’98 (’97?) Grand Cherokee. The ABS and non-ABS use the same parts as far as I can tell, so it should work. I want to do this upgrade on my ’91, but I haven’t found a junkyard that will separate the brake assemblies from the axle, they want to sell it as one unit. How much are you getting it for?

I just finished putting rear discs on my 1992 Cherokee w/ a 1996 Chrysler 8.25 rearend from a 1995 Grand w/ dana 35. All I had to do was open up the backing plate and the caliper bracket so it would slide onto my axle. I do not have abs and have had no problems.
