    Just my .02 worth.

    I don't understand the need for disc brakes on the rear of most vehicles. As you stop most of the vehicle weight is transfered to the front, and the front brakes supply the majority of your stopping power. I WILL agree disc brakes are FAR easier to work on, but IMO are overkill on the rear of a vehicle like a Jeep. A Corvette, or the like yes, but a Jeep?

    I've read it makes a big difference in stopping the XJ with 32" or larger tires. Really a must (at least a brake upgrade) for 35".
