OK, couple things here:
The WJ front brake swap and the WJ booster swap are two different things.
If you want to do your front brakes, you will need:
Knuckles from any WJ
Calipers, mounting brackets, rotors & pads from a WJ. 2002-2004 is best though any will work.
A WJ ball joint set, though just the uppers will work (lowers are same as XJ)
A hub flange spacer (JKS and PORC sell them. You can also make one)
99.5+ XJ hubs. I think late model Wrangler D30 hubs will work too, though I don't know for sure.
If you want to do the WJ booster swap, google search it. I've already got a dual diaphragm booster in my 98 so I don't know squat about this one.

It's considered yelling.

It's annoying.

Nope. WJ, XJ, ZJ, TJ - they all use a 1" bore master cylinder. Some report a better pedal feel with a larger MC but it isn't routinely part of the swap.
