I appreciate the feedback. I have seen some pretty damning evidence to the contrary. Drilled and slotted is the way to go in my opinion. I think its definitely arguable and you make good points though.
The stock brakes are fine, nothing going on that isn't normal. They were designed for 33"...
I agree, I wish it were cheaper. I actually purchased the Mopar Big Brake Kit ($780) and it was a bust. I checked out the Teraflex kit which might have been OK but it's out of stock nationwide until October or later. The Wilwood kit was the best sure thing option knowing I will be able to...
Nope, actually about $200 under list for Wilwoods. Brembos would have been another 1k to the kitty.
Depends on what your doing. If I was just running my 37s the brakes would be ok. I haul a 3500 lb. UTV and a 4k lb. boat around. At that point.....the stock stopping power isn't sufficient.
Just ordered Wilwood front and rear brake kit for my JT. $4k in total but hoping to be able to stop on a dime. After that first dime.....40k more dimes and I can pay for the brakes! :)

Yeah , we confirmed the stock fronts have the same part numbers as the JL however the rear do not. Anyways, I guess its back to the search engines to find a better option.
Unfortunately that will be no different from my understanding. We looked at that kit as well. Same basic parts that come in the Mopar Big Brake Kit. Essentially thinking the issue is the JL and JT do NOT run the same brakes like Quadratec and all these parts dealers are claiming. So when you...
The entire bottom of the box is essentially cut out to make room for the charge pipe. I dont have pictures of mine because its hard to see once installed.
Yeah, tough pill to swallow. Was hoping someone here might have done the kit and had positive or negative feedback. If there is truly no size up though, the kit is trash.
Yeah, I am pretty irritated about it. My brakes SUCK when I haul anything over 3500 lbs. Next option is like 4k with Woodward or Brembo. Yeesh!!
The dealer has been great about it....and said we could give it a try but once they go on....Im paying the bill so its like....wth do I do. Give...
Dealer called me today and said the Mopar Big Brake kit appears to be a bust. Said the rotors are actually smaller than stock. Said the calipers have no additional pistons either. We were all a bit confused about how it can offer MORE stopping power under those circumstances?! They are...
Man thats nuts....I paid $1200 installed for my 2" Mopar lift from the dealer. They may have done it at cost considering I ordered a $65k truck from them though.
