392 JL on 37s which I believe has the same brakes as the JT upgraded with APB front brakes Shows a decent improvement especially when you consider it is not highway speed. He also has a second video which reduces the stopping distance further by adding APB’s rear kit.

The size of the tires has a large effect on stopping distance also, at least as much as weight, the larger diameter tire increases the leverage on the brakes just as reciprocating mass does.

I do not think the JT brakes are powerful enough for 37" tires and there is more to it than simply saying if they can lock the tires that is it and they can provide the shortest stopping distance. Smaller rotors and calipers cannot provide the same clamping force for the duration of a stop with...

What is the title of this thread?

Who has locked up their brakes on a JT with 37” tires? Did you remove the abs fuse and test this?

Sure, locked up is locked up. In the real world 37” tires increase braking distance period. You guys can keep referencing all the articles you want written by engineers talking about brakes and stopping distance on sports cars it is not the same thing, most of the principals apply but none of...

None of the articles you keep referencing address braking distance increasing from going to larger diameter heavier tires.

Weight also increases traction, I am not convinced a JT on 37” tires can consistently lock up the tires, I doubt anyone has actual done it unless they disabled the abs.

So why would the stopping distance increase going from 32” to 37” tires? The 37” tire will have a larger contact patch and more traction, assume they are the same brand and model tire.

I am saying that when you add larger diameter, heavier tires to a JT you increase your stopping distance, larger diameter rotors or stronger calipers will reduce the stopping distance with the larger tires, they may not make a difference if added to a JT with stock wheels and tires.

Talking about Jeeps with larger diameter heavier wheels and tires not fast cars, there is plenty of actual tests explaining the impact of larger tires and how larger brakes make a difference in stopping distance.

This is what I have, works great and zero issues, also no worry about having your JT dealer serviced if you have used it.

It’s crooked, but I think it is a pretty safe bet if you have the dealership fix it when you get it back whatever they do to “fix” it will be much worse than it being crooked. I would envision them prying it off with a big screwdriver and gouging all the paint around it or something similar

Being your JT is supercharged is probably why there is a lack of a significant performance difference, on a stock engine the difference would probably be bigger.

Thanks, but it is still in rwd at that point, I was wondering if it indicates anything when the front axle is engaged from the transfer case when it detects slip

Is there any dash light or indication when in awd that it has locked in the front axle?

Longer lower control arms or geometry correction brackets.

Curious how the steering is between the two setups as offset is not something I have seen discussed when it comes to steering before.

Factory, the red looks out of place to me, also looks like the KMC wheels put the tires outside the fenders quite a bit which I do not care for.

Max tow or Rubicon would be the best for plowing IMO
