Ok I know this topic has been covered here as I have done a search but I am still not finding what I need.
Try to be open minded too. I do have a couple of FSJ's but this is on the CJ-7 my trail jeep that I use a waggy 20 axle under the rear and a chev 44 up front all 6 bolt.
The jeep has a 258 fuel injected, 999 auto, 4:1 transfercase, 4.56 locker F & R, 36" tires
So I used A-A brackets, 91 Chev (regular duty rotors), 82 Caddy rear caliper with e-brake.
Mater Cylinder from a 69' Corvette w/ discs 1 1/8 bore, 9" dual diaphragm booster.
Lines were plumbed with an adjustable valvle to the front and straight to the rear with a 2 psi valve.
I had installed this about 6 months ago with so so results. It was better than the drums since the disc stays cleaner. But the jeep can eventually pull through the brakes at idle.
When I was in Moab I had spoke to a vendor out there and they suggested I go to a hydro boost and stock valving in the lines.
Tried that.. no real improvement.
During the change the master failed so I replaced it.
So I am going to try front calipers from 82 caddy since they take the same pad I have and will bolt on. They have a little larger piston (2.5) instead of (2 1/8) with e-brake.
I am wondering what seems to work to slow those rear tires down enough?
Is there another rotor out there that can slip on the 20 flange that is larger in diameter and can accept a larger brake pad? Such as the ones you find on the front of a waggy or j-truck?
Any other ideas are helpful too. All I'd like to do is get to going for the weekend if at all possible.
Thanks a bunch!
