Looking to swap front calipers...

Hey, everyone -

I'm upgrading my 2001 WJ brake system, and started looking at purchasing new calipers (the old ones are pretty bad/rusted). I was originally looking at purchasing the Akebono replacements, but then read that they won't work on my model year. Has anyone tried this? I mean, I'm planning to replace rotors, calipers, brackets, etc. when I do it, but fron what I've read it sounds like the hub itself won't accept the bracket mounting locations...

If it means having to swap out axles from a 2002+ I'm not thinking the juice is worth the squeeze...

Thanks for any advice you can give!
