Brake booster upgrade

[btm24]

I'm looking to do the brake booster upgrade. ive heard of doing a this with a ZJ, XJ and WJ booster and know that the ZJ, XJ booster is all all bolt in. So after looking into it I know Ill be going with the 95, 96 XJ. So what are all of the parts to get at the junk yard to make it work? and will it matter what motor the XJ has? are there any add on's Ill need to get? Thanks

I did one in the DIY section also.

By far the best upgrade I have ever done to my MJ!! I followed the MADXJ post, the brake lines were the challenge, use some stiff copper wire to figure out the bends and the lengths. I was doing more of a restoration so I went for new parts, 96 booster and master cylinder for ~ $142.00. If you go to the junk yard be sure to get the firewall spacer. To get my 88 brake light switch to operate I had to open the push rod hole up to .637".

i got my complete setup(booster,m/c and prop valve)for $45 from a junkyard.i spent like $20 buying lines and fittings.it was one of the best upgrades i've done to the truck.don't forget to bypass the rear brake valve.
