Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and fairly inexperienced with off roading jeeps.
Just moved from the east coast where I was able to do alot of trail riding with a close to stock Cherokee and Xterra compared to here in Southern California. Alot more trails and rough terrain out here!
So I picked up a used 94 Cherokee as the 3rd owner, and the owner before me knew very little about the rig and it was a great price at $1400 because it had one of those "rockhard" rear bumpers and swing out tire carrier, and I know those cost like $900 new. Didn't get to really inspect the lift when I got it due to inexperience, but I did some research after. I'm not even sure how high it is lifted. I've identified it has all Rough country shocks, i assume their springs are from a lift kit they sell, extended leaf spring shackles, adjustable track bar with drop mount(so i assume it is on at least a 4.5" lift), dual shock steering stabilizer, and extended lower control arms. I installed a new set of BFG A/Ts 32x1150x15 on 15x8 wheels, pro comp lifted leaf springs(the ones that came were almost flat) and started installing new polyurethane bushings everywhere I can.
One thing i noticed was that the rear has disc brakes. I am not sure if the entire rear axle was replaced since it did have some nice upgrades on it when i got it, seems like the first owner knew a thing or two. But I am not sure how to identify particular axles.
My main concern here is that there is no emergency brake lines and is missing the equalizer that splits the rod to attach the cables to go to each wheel side. I need to find a replacement equalizer(or make one) and get the correct brake lines.
Is it possible that this is a rear axle from a different style jeep that comes with discs and not just add on disc brakes? Is it possible to identify which axle and brakes I have by model #s or serials, or pictures and help from member here?
I'm going to take some pictures of the rear axle and get them up ASAP, any info or points in a direction would be very appreciative!
