Question regarding front ProGrips
Hoping someone with Progrips can confirm something for me. It looks like on the fronts, the caliper piston boot is hitting the ProGrip bracket. Obviously I haven't extended the piston yet as my axle isn't installed yet, but either way it will be very close. Also it looks like the piston hangs over the pads a little on another portion of the piston. I'm sure it's normal as everything fits well, just want to make sure. Here's some pics.

Thank you both. I figured it was ok. 2cross, your pic looks just like mine near the inner part. The piston boot has about 1/8" hanging over the bracket. And looking at your pic with the piston extended, that part of the boot that hangs over doesn't move anyway so we're good :thumb:

My pistons do hang over the rotors a significant amount. Actually it's a surprising amount. But they work damn good so guess it doesn't matter...

test drive: the brakes perform fantastically!! i almost have to get re-used to driving with them. the amount of pedal pressure required to stop the truck is quite a bit less than before, especially when initially applying the brake. the rear rotor/bracket setup really makes a difference when stopping. when u first start braking, u feel the back of the truck almost "squat", vs a feeling of "picking up" or " lightness" in the back before. i had replaced my front brakes and rotors recently, and the Dynatrac PROGRIP setup blows the stock parts clear out of the water! I'm really, really happy that i won this kit, and it is defiantly worth the money for the kit. i will be recommending it to anyone looking for a brake upgrade for stock axles.
i would also like to thank WAYALIFE, eddie, and DYNATRAC for this awesome prize!!! thank u very much!!!:beer::beer::beer:[/QUOTE]
Congrats on winning your new brakes! We're happy but unsurprised (wink-wink) that you love them so much and see such a noticeable difference. Just curious, what wheels and tires are you running?

Just bumping this back to the top.
After a week I must say these are the best brakes I think I have ever used on a Jeep or truck (outside of a sports car). Over the past week the brakes have only gotten stronger as they brake in!! Also the jeep stays extremely flat as I brake where as on the stock pads and upgraded pads I used before knuckle nose dived heavily!
It's amazing what just bigger rotors and pads can do with the stock calipers and master cylinder [emoji6]

Sweet! I've still got about 2500 miles left in the stock pads... but after that, I cant wait to be stopping like that! :yup: :thumb:

Who cares about pad life? I'm swapping mine out that have 15,000 miles on them. I want the extra stopping, which is vital with the crap drivers were have around here. About once a week I see someone blow through a red light and the traffic jams in the DC metro area are legendary.
