Dynatrac Progrip Has Stopping Power!
2012 JK Ron 3 months ago
When going from stock to 35's I noticed a loss in braking ability. When going from 35's to 37's, it was even more dramatic, bordering on unsafe. Dynatrac Progrip to the rescue! Install was easy, not much different than doing a normal brake job except you are replacing the caliper frame. Just be prepared with some moly grease for your caliper pins which you are moving over from the stock frame, the instructions don't mention the need for some grease. You also probably want to pick up a tube of anti-squeal paste to keep your brakes quiet. Finally, don't neglect the break-in instructions for bedding your pads, that is truly part of the install process! On the road: The first time you drive with these upgraded brakes you will be impressed. Stopping distance is hugely reduced and confidence in the ability to stop in heavy traffic is restored. Before the Progrip, I was allowing a few extra Jeep-lengths between me and the vehicle in front of me and cussing if someone merged in front of me, anticipating that my stinger will be hitting them in the back of the head. Now stopping is like stock or, dare I say, possibly even better. Off the road: The JK mating call, that "ruuuuuhrrreeeerrr" sound you hear as you edge over a that 3-foot rock ledge, IS GONE. Want to hang on that ledge prior to hitting bottom? Before, you would be standing on that brake pedal and STILL sliding forward. After the Progrip, you are casually resting your foot on the brake and fully in control of your descent, touching the bottom with the softness of a bird feather landing on a still pond. I just can't stress enough how big of an improvement this is. For the safety of us all, don't neglect your need for brakes capable of matching your beloved Jeep.
