Just swapped my waggy 44 front axle and have a question about the brakes. I've read about swapping the master cylinder but wasn't sure if it's needed on this. It feels like I lost a lot of Peddle, I'm not sure if I need to keep bleeding it or if it is the master cylinder than needs up graded. Anyone else have the same issue?

I'm running Chevy brake calipers if that makes a different

I ran those brakes up front with monte carlo calipers in back and always had a nice high pedal with good pedal feel. Stock everything else, dual diagphram booster and 96 and 97 xj master cylinder ( ran this setup in 2 xjs). I may have used a zj prop valve, but it was so long ago i dont remember.

keep bleeding. you shouldn't need a larger master than what you already have.

The bleeder screws are on top of the calipers, right?
