Did some digging and WJ booster isn’t compatible with the Durango/Dakota MCs. Need a 97-01 booster now.

Being a 90 with a 95/96 booster, you will need to grind down a section of the rod for your brake switch to work. Or you can retrofit a later model switch and figure a way to have it hit the pedal. Otherwise your brake lights won't work.
Sooo V8 durango master cylinder and brake booster off a 96 XJ with the pedal hella modified so it connects to the stock pedal?
Gotcha. I have the WJ booster and (probably) the stock 89 master and the brakes are horrible on mine with a Dana 60 front. They were great with stock axles though. The Durango master wouldn’t fit the booster so I’m now fishing for something different.
I have straight up manual brakes on the buggy, with Ford dual piston Dana 60 calipers up front and the typical 3/4 ton Chevy front calipers in the rear, and it’s pretty nice. Buggy though so I don’t really get past second gear in high range.
Yeah. I had a similar set up with stock axles and it was awesome. Now I have a similar set up to Phil, and it giving me fits getting it bled. You might want to look into 96 booster. It fit well for me with the Durango mc.

I have a similar set up but I have the el dorado calipers with the ebrake arm. What mc/booster are you running?

I found a 95 booster and discovered the Ram 1500 has the same master. So now I need to apparently adjust the booster rod length and install everything.
I have no brake booster. I have a CNC dual master cylinder. I don’t have the size listed electronically, I think I must have ordered from Kartek over the phone, and will dig through my stack of receipts to see if it is there.
I got the 96 and I didn’t have to adjust the booster push rod.

I didn’t either. I took a whole bunch of measurements between what I had, and what I NOW have. Difference was something along the lines of 0.06”. Yes 0.06” because micrometer and math. They’re much better and bolt in.
Glad you got it all figured out!
Im still getting air out of my system. Looking like it might have something to do with my eldorado calipers being hard to bleed.

I had a set of calipers where the bleeder screw was just a shitty mold. When I cracked it to bleed fluid it actually let air flow through the threads. It sucked ass. I bought totally different calipers. They’re stilll kind of crappy but hold pressure better. When I loosen the bleeder you can wiggle it just not AS much. Just thought I’d pass this on.
