Jeep Brakes

Any one ever tried using the braking system from a 99 to present Jeep Grand Cherokee cuz a friend of mine is selling me the rear end from his 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the bolt pattern seems to be the same. I have not Measured the axle but maybey just add the whole axle in to make thing simple.

Please input and Thank You in advance.

Re: Jeep Brakes

That axle is either a Dana 35 or an aluminum Dana 44. No gain strength wise on anything in any Chevy 1/2 ton PU.

Also, the bolt pattern is 5 on 4.5" not anything close to what you would have at 5 on 5" or 6 lug.

If we all thought like that we would keep the Impala parts on impalas and the f@rd 9" on the f@rds. Just cause no one has done it it doesnt mean it can't be done. But thats just my 2 cents.

I found that the bolt pattern infact is 5x127 or 5x5 in with 1/2rh holes for the lugs

For a 1999 Grand Cherokee?

All Jeeps in 1999 were 5 on 4.5". That was the last year I worked at the Jeep dealership.
