I think it should be possible to even get an OEM HD brake kit.
The export JKs got bigger brakes when they upgraded the diesel engine for MY2011. (maybe even 2010)
Anyone ever tried this??

Is the clearance issue the same on both sides?
Unless there's some production issue now we don't know about, the TF BBK has been a solid winner from day one for overcoming JKs weak braking system. I run them on Spyntec hubs, along with their master cyl, and they've been as the Brit would say, the bees knees. I'd pull everything down and see if you've got an issue with the unit bearing, etc. that's spacing the rotor out too far.

I actually dont remember who I spoke with on the phone, but the first call I emailed pictures and they called me back to inform me new rotors were on the way, second call was about 2 min of just identifying my self explaining what went on and new brackets were on the way. I will PM you my contact info and the email address of who ever I emailed the pictures too and Im sure you can look it up

I didnt try both sides Im not yanking the whole thing apart if I am going to put it right back. second Im not ripping the front end apart to see if a bearing isnt seated right or something, its got 8000 miles its chryslers problem if there is something wrong with that side. however the factory brackets I would say have about 3/16th of an inch clearance not a few thousandths. the factory bracket is centered almost perfectly over the rotor, if a bearing or something isnt seated correct the issue would be the same on the factory caliper bracket
