Finally back in stock. This is the kit everyone says to get when getting bigger calipers. Install wasnt bad if you are handy. Make sure to bench bleed and watch install videos! This helped me a lot to make sure it all went together, and lined up right. The pedal feels shorter which is nice. I think im experiencing some other issues causing a slightly mushy feel still, but its not because of the kit.

J8
I did a one ton axle swap into my JKU with 43” tires. I upgraded to a master cylinder with 1-1/16” bore, Brakes worked but were pretty soft. The J8 master cylinder is 1-1/8” bore. It firmed up the pedal quite a bit, feels like a JK with 35” tires. My only complaint is that I still go to the floor if I’m in low/low range with the Atlas on a down hill. Slide it in neutral and it immediately stops. If you’re running a Rubicon 4:1 transfer case, you should be able to stop anywhere with 43” tires. The installation is a pain due to the holes in the firewall. Also, you have to take extra care to make sure the master cylinder and the vacuum canister are perfectly aligned, don’t guess on the alignment.

Looks like all of these went to eBay for about $100 + more. They even copied Northridge 4X4’s description https://www.ebay.com/itm/326170816504?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rfJKEi2XQpe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=aB6iWWGaQ_m&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I installed a Grow big brake kit only to realize that was a useless upgrade with out a larger booster/master upgrade. Install is a big pain but a competent DIYer should have no problem with. I installed this in a manual trans with a Wilwood remote res, Evo compressor mount and ARB High Output Single, it all fits

I installed this in my JK with the intention of adding a big brake kit. To install I had to separate the cylinder from the booster as it would not slide in together, removal of the ABS hydraulic unit was not necessary. If the cylinder isn't installed straight on the rod it will bend the rod or ruin the piston inside the cylinder. 2 steel lines to the unit did have to be rebent to fit the cylinder as it is 1 and 1/4 or 1/2 inches longer than the stock assembly. I bled it by installing the assembly and routing the lines back into the reservoir and using the brake pedal. I did not want to deal with a vice and screwdriver to bench bleed. I did a complete brake overhall with Teraflex Delta brake kit as well as added steel braided lines so overall braking performance increased.

If you have finally decided to upgrade your factory Jeep Wrangler brakes to handle the extra weight of that suspension upgrade, the bigger wheels, heavier tires, bulky roof rack, winch, fridge, and bumpers, you have no doubt purchased one of the good quality kits from the Usual Suspects. None of the kits however, tells you about the soft/mushy pedal you'll get as a direct result of the bigger volume of brake fluid you will be pushing through the system, but with nowhere to pull this precious resource from. Its just simply not there. The kits mention nouns like might, maybe, sometimes, but the real deal is if you want those expensive upgraded brakes you just bought to perform their best, you MUST get this kit. The reservoir is much bigger, the M/C has bigger bore size to pass more fluid through, and the bigger brake booster...well, it boost!! Its instant stopping power. A word of caution: you must bench bleed the M/C prior to installation, and the kit does not fit if you've installed the ARB dual/single compressor and braket under the hood. The Mopar BBK kit is dimple a bit bigger and it won't fit.

Power Steering Upgrade
I installed UD60's on my 14 JK Rubi, the brake rotors and calipers on the UD60's are huge and I wanted to make sure the mc and brake booster were adequate for the massive brakes. After installing the new mc and brake booster I couldn't get the brake pedal to firm up. I bled the brakes every way possible and had the anti lock module bled as well and yet the brake pedal would continue to go all the way to the floor. I contacted Northridge 4x4 and they sent me a replacement mc and brake booster right away. The first kit that was sent didn't have a new seal with it, that goes between the mc and brake booster. I was instructed to use the oem seal which I did, and would later determine that that's what was causing the issue. The second kit that was sent did indeed have a new seal, after installing that kit, the brakes are better than when the jeep was new. Aside from the snafu with no seal being with the first kit, this setup is fantastic.

The J8 master cylinder and brake booster from MOPAR works really well. I paired it with a big brake kit (larger rotors and calipers) and my braking feels much better. I can lock up my 37in tires on a 4-door just fine now. I couldn't before. The pedal feel is also much improved. The build of each part seems good (they are MOPAR, not an aftermarket manufacturer). The performance per dollar is also good. The inclusion of the booster for this price is good. Also, the master cylinder has a larger bore than some of the competitors that don't include a larger booster. Installing the brake booster and master cylinder was difficult. The included instructions has you install the brake booster on the firewall bracket, then install the booster + bracket on the Jeep, then install the master cylinder. I found it much easier to install the bracket in the Jeep alone, install the master cylinder on the brake booster, then install the booster + master on the bracket together. This will force you to fasten the bolts of the booster inside the cab where the brake pedal is. The trade off is that it's much easier to move the booster + master in place this way. In fairness, replacing a brake booster is always a pain and isn't specific to this kit.

I foolishly ordered this from a lessor online vendor in hopes of saving ~$40. I was on back order for over a year before I decided to place a 2nd order with Northridge to see which order came in 1st. Northridge clearly stated the item was on backorder but I still received it in about 70 days. Never received the 1st order from other vendor and cancelled about 2 months ago. Still waiting on my refund check. Northridge is more transparent and treat's it's customers fairly. The product is what it is but Northridge is top notch.

Everything was going great until it came time to re-attach the factory brake lines. 1 line fit perfectly and the other one was off 1 3/4in.
