Sounds like it is time for a disc brake conversion....

The assumption here is it is equipped with drum brakes all around.

I did a brake "improvement" by just replacing the drums on my old CJ5. Drums can be turned to the point where it will take more pressure to stop and a few thousandths of an inch on the drum does make a different.

So, new drums may help; however, an entire brake system upgrade may be necessary.
