You mean the brake light switch?
Are you sticking with drums in the rear or going w/ discs? What year XJ is your brake booster from? What size tires are you going to run?

Does your '98 have ABS? (I would assume it does.)
If you're keeping the drums in the back, and you already have a dual diaphragm booster, I would just bolt it all up and see how it stops. Then go from there depending on the performance.
I try to avoid ABS when I can though, so you should wait for some advice in regards to that

dual diaphragm booster on my 99.
stock brakes on the 44 and 9" and it stops way better than stock... even on 35's.
those axles have much bigger brakes
and everything bolts up... including e-brake cables
