All you need to know is on this video. Oh, and Dynatrac stands behind their warranty. Period.

edit: I also have this kit and it's outstanding.
I can tell you from experience the TF do not fit all 17" wheels either. Some wheels have a thicker inner profile from the center of the wheel to the hub (I have a set that do that - found out after I had swapped out all the brakes to Dynatrac :doh
IMO TF are more labor intensive. while it's relatively easy to remove the caliper, getting a proper bleed is a pain in the ass. Jeep also used different master cylinders over the years, if you it turns out you don't have the proper master cylinder for the big bore TF calipers, you're stuck dishing out another $210. When you stop, the fronts are doing all the work. they will stop you quicker but when loaded down you will notice the difference from front to rear so you'll likely end up buying their rear big brake kit. it's a larger rotor with brackets similar to ProGrips - total you're in about $1400 - not sure if the front brake pads are factory style #'s
I ran the PowerStop Drilled/slotted and they were a big improvement over stock with my 35's - hauling a trailer and stopping became less of an adventure!
once I put the 37's on with beadlocks, stopping became an adventure again not as bad on the flat but on steep declines on the trial they tended to fade fast. Seat pucker was an understatement.
The Dynatrac ProGrip are easy to install and no bleeding required unless you're also extending your brake lines. The pads they come with do put out a lot of dust but I've found the Wagner OEx to provide the same excellent stopping power with very little brake dust - jeep factory replacement size pads makes it easy.
I can tell you the stopping power of all braking corners being equal stops fast and flat. I can drive my 2015 stock jeep and then get in my 2010 37's, and heavy and I don't change need to change my braking style.
best part for me, if my daughter is driving my Jeep I don't worry about having to warn her how far in advance she needs to start braking. she can drive it the same manner as the 2015 with no worries.
My jeep is heavy and when I'm on a trip with tools and all the crap I carry the ProGrips are great.
A friend of mine recently swapped out his TF kit after he drove my Jeep, he was on the fence on buying the master cylinder/rear kit but went ProGrips instead.

Wanted to say thanks for the Forum Links.
It's definitely helped me with my decision.

Just throwing this out there,
Slabs will have no issues with either thanks to the 3.5 BS of the wheel. So you should be golden fitment wise. That being said... The progrips are bad ass. I'm running slabs, fitment is fine... and It took about a week to stop throwing cargo around the jeep under braking after driving with 37s and stock brakes for so long. The only thing I changed in the braking department was the progrips... they made THAT much of a difference... :thumb:

Thanks for the pictures Dwiggles and the fitment confirmation.
Just wondering if your ATX Slabs came with a Centre Cap???
I can't recall if mine are coming with some in the package I bought....
And if they usually don't...what's the centre cap size and where's a good place to buy some?
Thank You!

Notice how level, Rubicat stays during braking. The larger rear rotors, do a nice job of keeping the Jeep from going nose down, during hard braking. I have Progrips, with metric 35's, and he'll really stop, now. There is no spongy feeling in the pedal, like a member here, recently reported with the Teraflex kit.

The original TF kit was just for the front. Larger rotors and a 4 pot caliper. That could lead to some front dive and also might feel spongy if used with the original JK master cylinder. At some point Jeep changed the master cylinder to a larger size, so the second issue went away. The nose dive wasn't really a problem; I had the front only kit for a couple of years and the better braking over stock was nice, particularly with 37s and a heavier than stock Jeep. Later, TF added a rear kit that has larger rotors but re-uses the stock calipers, now spaced further out with brackets. That's the same approach as Dynatrac. I added that and now have front and rear kits. The Jeep stays more level and with less brake dive. I think TF recently may also have added a similar front kit; i.e., stock caliper spaced with brackets. If so, you could go TF without dealing with a larger master cylinder, changing calipers, or bleeding the system. So that's another option. I don't know what the price is for that, but it's probably comparable to the Dynatrac set up, + or - $100. I gather Dynatrac is made in the US whereas TF is not, so that's another detail that may be important.

Thanks for the Fitment suggestion! I'll be running ATX Slabs as of next Thursday.

I have Slabs and Progrips with 37" Nitto TG's. Would do Progrips again in a heartbeat.
I have this same set up. Had a deer pop out on The road the other day and I was shocked how well I slowed down.I have Slabs and Progrips with 37" Nitto TG's. Would do Progrips again in a heartbeat.
Thank You Sir!
Pulled the trigger this morning on ProGrips!!!!
1-1/2 week wait though....looks like my tires are going to arrive earlier than the brakes.
Should be a good combo...
37" x 13.5" x 17" STT Pros, ATX-Slabs, Dyna ProGrips. Recently installed TF HD Adjustable Ball joints.
