Upgrading rear brake size how much better will it be?
Currently have a 3.55 geared rear(3.54 front) diff in my Cherokee. Its a base model so its got 9 inch brakes in the rear. I'm really close to doing a front and rear diff swap with a set of 4.11 diffs. The rear diff I'm putting under my Cherokee has 10x1.75 brakes. The 9 inch rear brakes feel REALLY weak and sketchy when coming down inclines. In a perfect world, will the 10 inch brakes be much of an improvement over the 9 inch brakes?

Factory single diaphragm brake set up is scary even with stock tires its a waist of time and money attempting any brake upgrade unless the boosters done also.
