Ok first some background:
1992 XJ, 6+in lift, 35s soon to be 36s or 37s
HP D44, Ford 9in from a 78 F150
4.88s, ABR front, MiniSpool rear
Stock F150 brakes, and stock XJ ABS brake components under the hood
My rear brakes are shot, the shoes are dead and basicly it all needs replaced(springs cables, everything is very used).
I'm looking to improve braking, and not spend a LOT of money! And possibly have a working parking brake(if I swap to discs).
I would like to find a solution that doesn't involve all new everything under the hood, and if it does, its with stuff I can easily find and install(dont want a major fab project)!
SO here are my options, what do you guys think?
1. Install new stock componets and stick with drums
2. Install discs from an explorer or similar that can be found cheap
3. Go crazy and redo everything under the hood and get a good disc kit
4. ????
What can I do under the hood that will really add some life to my system under the hood? Will upgrading to 96+ booster help enough? Should I add an E350 master cylindar? 96 Booster with a E350 MC? Or something else? What have you guys done to bring your big XJs to a stop?
