Hi,

I am building an XJ with JK axles and 40" tires.

I've got a teraflex Dana 44 Axle 8-Lug Full-Float Conversion with big rotors. Should I upgrade the brake booster and main cilinder?

Something like https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/rt-of...-master-cylinder-kit-rt31038/_/R-GGMQ-RT31038

Thoughts?

On my next build, I'll be going with 35-36" tires and a 5.5 lift. Ford 8.8 in the rear and a Dana 44 in the front. WJ Big brakes front and rear. Also looking at going a bit bigger on the front rotors, to a 13" rotor and Dakota front calipers.
So, to your question, I'll be using a WJ Brake booster and a Dodge Dakota master cylinder.

So from my experience, the Dakota master doesn’t fit the WJ booster. Have you done this to confirm yet?

No. I think you found your answer in the thread above. Seems some have.

Yeah I forgot I asked here, and it’s weird the one I had didn’t work on the WJ booster I have.

95 booster
98 ram 1500 master
Studs on a WJ booster are too far apart. WJ booster was a waste.
