8.8 and it's disc brakes

someone told me the master cylinder and porportioning valve would need to be change due to the different line pressures between the drum brakes and the disc brakes

When I did my rear brake disc conversion it wouldn't even lock the back tires up on pure ice until I put a ZJ proportioning valve on. Didn't have to touch the master cylinder.
