Do you know if you have the stock rear axle still in the truck? The brackets and the connector rod should be specific to what model of rear axle you have. I think.

Its a 89 MJ, 4.0, std., 4x4, yes on rear axle. There is only one bracket left on the truck, which is on the differential housing, all others were removed before i got it.

Thanks for responding

Do you know which rear axle you have? If you are unsure just post up a picture of it. It should either be a Dana 35 or Dana 44.

I bought this MJ 3 months ago, had issues and had it flat bedded to a jeep dealer that a tech I became friendly was going to make it safe for me to drive home, where i will start to restore the MJ from there. So its still there with this Brake issue unsolved. The rear proportioning valve was removed previously, do you think I could replace the front proportioning valve with one from a CJ to make it safer in braking than the original until I can collect all the parts or fabricate what is needed to correct. I appreciate any help in this anr your response. Thanks

What front proportioning valve? The MJ never had a front proportioning valve, and neither did the CJ.

 

I drove my '88 MJ for years with no proportioning valve. It was only a problem once, when I hit the brakes for a stop sign at the bottom of a steep hill and the road was wet and slippery. The rear locked up and I fishtailed a bit.

I probably have one or two valves with brackets. 

 

If it were me, I would eliminate the distribution block in front and put an adjustable prop valve in for the rear.
