The wj swap is it damn nice with its brakes. But teraflex is cheaper because you use stock xj brakes. You'll still need the crossover steering and ota track bar like the wj and the knuckles gonna cost a pretty penny in it self...
Personally I did the wj swap, steering setup is obviously crossover, Durango box, wj pitman arm. Needed the wj arm in order to get the full steering throw to throw again. You loose about 1/2 a turn with the wj swap which is no biggy at all, unnoticeable really. But the Durango box looses almost 1 full turn over a stock xj box as well and this was noticeable in parking lots or tight trails mainly.
Wj pitman arm and we are good to roll again, I think its got more steering angle than my buddies xj on his currie setup and xj box. My wheels appear to turn further when we compared. But ya the wj brakes, omg amazing. I'm using the older teeves calipers as they have a slightly smaller body meaning 15s were easier to fit. The akebonos that everyone raves about warps rotors just like the teeves but are less prone to it. I can say I've had no issue with such issues and again brakes are stupid strong, amazing difference when panic stopping at highway speeds.
With the wj swap & 8.8 disks I can lock all 4 up without an issue. The rest of my brakes consists of a wj dual diaphram brake booster, wj prop valve. I used the wj prop valve because they had disks front & rear and figured it was the proper way to do it. Basically the full wj brake setup is under my xj and with its extra weight from being built & loaded, they are freaking great!

Do the WJ swap, you will be further ahead in the end.
