Default Brake system upgrade.

Okay, so my 91 was stricken with the terrible bendix 9 abs system. Im planning to yank that all out and throw in a booster and master cylinder from a 96, my question is regarding the proportion valve. Every thing I read says I need to get a newer one, but nothing as to the reason why. So why wont the stock on already in my jeep work?

What spring did u replace? I put a 96 booster and master in my 89 but used the 89 prop valve. the brakes are better than they were but still pretty poor overall
