Assuming it's your TJ's build sheet that shows ABS, you'll have to disable the ABS unless the donor XJ had ABS, which I doubt. Or you could get tone rings installed on the 44's axles.

Why remove the ABS when you can just pull the fuse?

okay ditching the ABS is not a huge deal for the time being. i can always get it to work later on if i feel i really need it.
moving on, any suggestions on how to get the tj d35 brakes to fit on the xj's d44?
Thanks Jerry! it's just that mr. hughes made a good point. nothing personal to you at all. i guess we'll find out for sure if they work or not when the time comes! i got all my stuff on order and it should be here in a couple of weeks. let you all know how it goes!
thanks for the replies!
