I'm looking into removing the ABS from my 96 XJ and upgrading the brakes as well. What would be needed to properly remove the abs completely? Can't seem to find a write up of it anywhere. As far as upgrades go Grand Cherokees are essentially bolt-in/slight modification upgrades right? Thanks for any input/opinions on which direction I should take this.

Pull ABS fuse, and maybe pull your blub from the dash, then it will not work.

What year is your XJ? Pull the fuses/relays in the PDC and you are done. If you want to remove the pump, you can do that too. Search for it - the are plenty of write-ups for how to do it.
I'd rather eliminate the system entirely since I'm upgrading anyways.

Find a jeep liberty in the junkyard and you have a nice bolt on rear disk setup, except for the brake lines. Assuming of course, that you have an 8.25 rear axle.
I do have the 8.25, the D35 was replaced before I bought the Jeep and the ABS was just disconnected from the rear. Do you know what year of Liberties would work? Thanks for the tip.
