Well, I love mine :)
Compared to new and well adjusted rear drums, there is a small improvement, not huge, but noticeable.. But my drums just would not stay adjusted, no matter how much time and effort went into replacing parts and re-adjusting them. I hated drums :flamemad:
The ZJ disks I...
I used parts from a junkyard '98 Grand.. And these links.

They work great, one of the best mods I've done.
I did end up swapping to the ZJ wheel studs and proportion valve innards in the end.
When I did mine, everything came with the kit from PORC except the driveshaft. For the shaft, I used the front shaft from a junkyard XJ and swapped the flange to fit the H&T.
Worked great :)
:)
Big thanks to all for the info in this thread!
I just finished installing the console from a 2000 I won on Ebay into my '99 with no problems at all. Works great, thanks for the good pictures of the headliner cuts, and especially the wiring info in this link. I had a bit of splicing to do...
Happened to me about 4 months ago..
My local Advance auto had a replacement kit in one of the 'help' aisles for pretty cheap. New stud with bushings. I ground what was left of the old bolt flush with the mount, then drilled the rest out to mount the replacement, works great :)
Should be fine, I just did the same on my '99 with a 2"" and had no problems at all. Used a H&T from PORC and an XJ front shaft from the junkyard, fit great.
Well..
H&T from PORC - $100
Front DS from a junkyard - $60
New spicer flange from a local drivetrain shop - $55
new Ujoints - $45
So, I spent a total of $260 for everything, probably could have spent less if I shopped around for the driveshaft, or picked up the flange used. It worked great...
Just to update..
Did the H&T last night.. prepped the junkyard shaft last weekend (didn't have the H&T kit yet). And I just wanted to say thanks for all the help and info, it worked great, and eliminated the mild vibes I was getting as well as the grinding noise that has plagued me. Easy install...
Nope, I've pulled the front and the problem is still there.. But thanks :)
Thanks for the input all, I'm gathering parts now for the weekend, I appreciate all the info.
Well, I did the 2" about 1.5 years ago, and had only minor vibes. I almost did the SYE then, but it wasn't bad. I'm looking at this now as I've been developing more vibes and a pretty solid grinding noise from the rear end (best I can tell, from play in the slip yoke). I thought about the TC...
Thanks, that sounds more hopefull.. I never saw anyone say there was a 'need' for 3-4 inches, only I hadn't seen anyone with only 2 do it.
Will I need to change anything on a stock front to use it on the rear with a SYE, or should it just bolt up?
OK, I've been searching threads for a few days on this and have yet to see a definative answer.
I have a 99 Cherokee sport, 242 TC and AW4. I'm running a 2" lift, but no SYE right now. I'm starting to get some vibes and a bit of growling noise, which goes away with the slip-yoke freshly lubed...
Check your front wheel bearings, I just had a similar problem (both the dragging and front-end vibe) that was traced to a bad unit bearing on the passenger side. Replaced it and all is much better now :)
