I like to convert my 2000 Cherokee to disk brakes in the rear. Anyone have
any experience with any of the bolt on kits made for this?

 

Tera's rear disk brake conversion kit worked well for my TJ. It's made from
a Ford Explorer disk brake system so parts are easily found for it. It's
also more reasonably priced than other conversion kits I looked at.
Finally, make sure your Cherokee's rear axle is a Dana 35c so it will work.
Some Cherokees came with a Chrysler rear axle.

Hi Ron,
Doing a Google search didn't find any after market disc brake
conversions for the XJ '94 up, indicating you probably have the heavier
Chrysler eight inch ring rear. Pictures of their covers are at:
http://www.----------.com/chrys8dana35covers.jpg If you have the puny
Dana 35c seven and a half inch, then there is a way to use the Grand
Cherokee's Dana 44 disks: http://www.stu-offroad.com/brakeconv/bc-1.htm
Unless you plan on slalom type racing or overloading your car while
driving too fast down from high elevations where brake fade is a factor
then I wouldn't make the conversion, as you will lose braking power,
that's why all eighteen wheelers use drum brakes.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O
