From what I read they didn’t sorry. Why would they sell the kit for a sport or Sahara. I’m not claiming to know just what it seems like
Sigh. I see you are new here so I won’t shit on you but basic search skills goes a long way to not spread confusion on a forum based on information.

Brake pads were one of the first things I swap out on my Sahara. I hope I would know.

Are you convinced the big brake kit made a difference. I’m also looking to get the rubi axels upgrade cause I’m not sure I need much more. How much did you drop on the axels
Under normal operation and stock sized tires I don't think you'll notice a difference. I think if you run large tires / haul a trailer / drive on mountainous roads you will appreciate the extra brake capacity / fade resistance of the larger rotors and larger pad surface.

As I said before i didn’t mean anything by it. It’s just what I read or thought I read. But places selling this kit says if you have a rubi you don’t need it and if you have a Sahara or a sport its for you. I’m not questioning you. I was wrong my bad. Did you upgrade your lines also and what pads did you use

I think this is important to note. With a bigger brake kit you aren't decreasing stopping distance but rather fighting brake fade/heat.

Moab comes with the big brakes as well.




I'm considering this too, although I think I'd just get the front set. The Rubicons and Saharas come w/ the bigger brakes but the Moab doesn't which seems a bit strange.

The fronts do about 70% of the braking and just a front kit POWER STOP KC794036 Z36 Truck & Tow Performance Kit at rockauto is about $350 (which includes core charge) and (2) caliper brackets at $62 each MOPAR 68383242AA

Rockauto only lists one Master Cylinder MOPAR 68385585AC
