I used a master and booster out of a V* ZJ. The master could stand to be a little bit bigger bore, but not bad. But I have the WJ brakes on the rear to, which a seat of the pants measuring makes them about twice as good as the ZJ rear disc

Nice thread. I really like the approach you've taken on your rig. Has become one of my favorite builds to follow. Next I want you to get an anti-rock on there so I can copy your setup of having an outboard trackbar mount with an anti-rock

No, those are the rear calipers and disc on a rear axle

Bummer, lol. I was like **** he's got badass Calipers on the rear. Not that I think wj Calipers are that bad *** but I think the fronts in the tear could put something on the table worth eating.
ever since you mentioned wj Calipers my minds be wondering why not 1/2ton Chevy Calipers Eldorado Calipers

Well, it might not all be said and done on that. I am going to take the plunge and go to 40s. I am thinking that the WJ brakes might not handle that so well. We shall see. If not, yes the fronts will go on the rear and I will get something to make it a balanced system with a 70/30 match

My angle is still a little steep, however if your geometry is right on you don't notice it and it will drive just about like factory
