What about my brakes?

After Jan 1, Cottontail is going to be retired from DD work and will begin some much needed repairs/upgrades.

My main concern is the brakes. The stock ones never did real well, IMO, once I put 31's on. I need a four corners, probably calipers also, and maybe even brake lines.

What are suggestions for me to consider? I think I read about some kits that come with new calipers and pads and rotors and such, as a "drop-in" kit.

Any particular brands or part numbers or anything I need to know? BTW, Cottontail is an '85 with the 2.8, 3 inches, and, as mentioned, 31's.

for more stopping power ive heard of people going to the zj brake booster and calipers.......try a search

95/96 Master cylinder, booster and prop valve (all comes off the truck as one unit)

you'll pay out the arse for it new, so track down a used one.

this setup on otherwise stock brakes will bring my 36s to a halt and is definitely the single best mod I've EVER done to my Jeep.

Anyone here try the TRW power stop crossdrilled rotors and the matching semi met. pads yet? Been eyeballing them in the 4wd hardware catalog and thinking they might be a decent upgrade when it becomes brake replacement time.

rotors and pads aren't going to make up for a lack of hydraulic power, which is why XJ brakes (84-94) suck.
