what master cylinder to run???

[cj5walt]

I have all the parts to swap over disc barakes on my cj5. Everything that is except master cylinder and booster. I know i could easily go with a stock setup to match the later model cj5 the disc set up came from, but I would like it to stop better than stock, especially with a v8, hard top, and 35s. It gets used for camping trips so its often loaded with a couple hundred pounds of gear including a full size spare. So any thoughts/recomendations

I know some of the CJ guys go to an old Corvette MC. When I had my YJ with the Ford 8.8, I swapped in a MC from an E350 Van.

right now im running the 8.8 and wj front set up with the stock 95 yj mc and booster. works fine for me.

how is the pedal feel with that setup?

feels nice and tight, very responsive, i can lock up the 35's with it. i might go with the E-350 mc though for even more oomph

is that with discs on the 8.8?

yep disks on the 8.8 and the wj front setup, brakes and high steer setup
