Im having problems with my brakes, when I want to a quick stop I have to press really hard on the pedal cuz it will stop. I installed a new power booster and master cylinder it help a little but not as much. I have a 89 jeep cherokee laredo on 33inch tires. Also does anyone have a pics or there cherokees front suspension? Its cuz im installing new steering damper and want to relocated.
