I HAVE A 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT 4.0 / 2 WHEEL DRIVE, IT HAS A CHRYSLER 8.25 REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY WITH 3.55 GEARS AND DRUM BRAKES.
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A LOW COST CONVERSION KIT?(LESS THAN $400)
IS IT POSSIBLE TO SWAP THE WHOLE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY WITH ONE THAT HAS DISC BRAKES? IF SO WHAT YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE?
I KNOW THAT IN 2001 THEY HAD A REAR DISC BRAKE OPTION, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT MODEL 2001 CHEROKEE (LIMITED,SPORT,ECT...) CAME WITH REAR DISCS, EITHER STOCK OR AS AN OPTION?
IF SO, WERE THEY REGULAR DISC OR ABS?
IF THEY WERE ABS, CAN YOU GIVE ME A LIST OF PARTS I WOULD NEED FROM A SALVAGE YARD TO DO THIS CONVERSION?

I KNOW THIS IS A LOT TO ASK BUT I AM HAVING REAL PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS WITH MY DRUMS.
I HAVE CHILDREN AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
 
You are better of asking this on a jeep forum. but yea you can swap the axles. If it has abs im pretty sure you can just take the abs sensor off. I cant remember exactly.
