*** New Cherokee owner looking for brake advice ***
OK so I just bought a 93 Xj lifted with a RE 5.5" on 33's and needless to say the brakes suck. I started by inspecting pads and shoes and they all look fine. Secondly I bleed the brakes (kinda spongy) felt better for a few minuets then noticed a leak between the master cylinder and booster. I went to Autozone today and bought a new master cylinder and booster for a newer Xj but my question is should I exchange them for a Grand Cherokee master and booster? Thanks for the help in advanced everyone I'm looking forward to learning and milling around on this forum.

Go to the u pull it junkyard by JC Tune Airport and get the parts there. Shouldn't be much at all and you can grab the disc conversion stuff as well. I'm planning a trip there soon as I live about 10 minutes away in Bellevue.

Later down the road you may want to think about the WJ knuckle swap. You get better brakes and better steering.

89 rear brake conversion
So, I have had an 89 XJ since 91 and the brakes have always been poor. So I am seeing talk about converting to discs.
What year, what model would I get them off of? What other parts would I need to complete the deal?
Is there a link to a "how to". I can't find one? Lots of rigs in junk yards around here. Need full name descriptions, don't understand all the short hand. Thanks.
