pour l eau au moulin , j ai retrouve ce listing pour le passage en frein wj !!!! ???????????? ............ 
The parts you need:
99-04 WJ knuckles (JY-$40)
99-04 WJ calipers (JY- $40)
99-04 WJ ball joints (alljeeps.com- $72)
99-04 WJ brake pads (autozone- $50)
99-04 WJ rotors (autozone- $70)
91 XJ hub bearings (autozone- $150)
Re-drill rotors to 5x4.5 (Machine work- $75)
This is just like changing ball joints.
Step 1- Remove everything down to the ball joints.
Step 2- Install new WJ ball joints, the uppers are the same but the lowers have a different taper.
Step 3- Install WJ knuckles. Tq upper castle nut to 75 ft lbs and lower to 80 ft lbs.
Step 4- You might have to swap studs from the 98 hubs to the 91 hubs due to knurl poking through hub. (all depends on the size stud hole on the rotor)
Step 5- Install 91 XJ hubs onto the WJ knuckles. Make sure you use a 13mm 12 point and Tq to 75 ft lbs.
Step 6- You can reuse your stock brake line, but you have to grind off the the tab on the back of the new caliper (not sure if you have do this with the Tevis calipers) The reason is b/c the tab will make the line point down and cause the line to rub on the wheel on turns. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE LINE IS GOING UP!
Step 7- Install the rotor and calipers, make sure to put some blue loc-tite on the caliper bolts that attach them to the knuckles!
Step 8- Install the brake line, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHECK STEP 6 AND THAT YOU HAVE NO BRAKE LINE INTERFERENCE!!!
Step 9- Re-attach all steering components, your toe is going to be way off. The stock/lowered V8 ZJ's have plenty of thread left to adjust the toe to specs. You will need to set as close as possible then take to a shop to have done, unless you have the know-how to do at home.
Step 10- Bleed brakes.
Step 11- Break in your new brakes and enjoy.
The only thing that I have not got worked out yet is the ABS. The sensor is smaller on the WJ's.
So there you have a "big brake" upgrade kit for around $500
