What are the options?

Going up to 16" rims so will have a bit more clearance....

Was thinking more along the line of swapping calipers off a bigger jeep, they cost more than my jeep is worth  :lol:

Steve....Have you thought of just using the Jeep and enjoying it instead of dicking around with calipers and wheel sizes..

There you go Master Power Brakes ............ Big monster servo that turned my YJ from a failure at the MOT to a monster stopper that jumps out the rollers....... can't say fairer than that.    Cost $495

I use EBC Greenstuff in my XJ and you do notice the difference in stopping power (especially with a ton of spuds in the back :shock:). Everything else on the brakes is stock, though I might go for grooved discs when the current set wear out.

Look here: http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com They're listed under Chrysler (USA)
