Xj Disc Brakes

[Paco182]

I'm wanting to do a disc brake conversion on my 2001 Xj. I know 2003-present Jeep Liberty's have the same Chrysler 8.25 axle and the disc brakes of course. I need suggestions of where to look.

ZJ disc brakes are a bolt on, i did them on my TJ

I've considered that. I'm just looking for a good salvage yard that would have a 2003+ Liberty. It's a bolt on as well. I wouldn't need to grind out the [FONT=trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica]caliper backing plates.

Very minmal grinding for me. Probably about 2 min with a dremel on each side. I would also suggest the ZJ. A lot easier to find and probably cheaper.

Fair enough. One more thing, I found a write up on gojeep, it's a lower control arm mod. It requires control arms from a Jeep Wj Grand Cherokee. Is there something similar I could use?
