-zj brake calipers (obviously)
-custom spacers (i had billet ones fabbed below) that are pressed between mounting bracket and seal ...measurements were done independtly but were pretty much spot on to this site which gives a good overview on how to DYI
http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical...rDiscsOnXJ.htm
-new axle bearing and seal kit to complete assembly
-custom hand brake cables
