'97 XJ: 4.0, AX15, 231, D30/9"....
i recently installed a ford 9" into the rear of my jeep using chevy K5 calipers. the guy i bought the axle off of said it wouldnt be an issue, but i had my suspicion it would be. other than the rear axle, the braking system is otherwise stock. ive honestly never messed with any brake system.
now, i plan to swap the front as well. ive read and been recommended to do the dodge 2500/3500 master cylinder upgrade (what years are we talking for this?). am i correct in the though that the larger bore size is able to move more fluid and bring the pedal right back off the top?
now, the rear is bled and leak free, i also went through and bleed it all the way around. but i feel like the fronts are largely doing most of the work... like the bias is off. if im correct in my assumption of what the proportioning valve does, is changing it or removing it something i should try before splurging on a new MC?
here is what im working with:
