Mopar Big Brake Upgrade on Manual - Booster / Master Cylinder
Im about to purchase the Mopar Brake Kit, since my stock brakes are struggling with my 38's... and Im going even lower geared with an Atlas 4.
I've found multiple references to issues with the manual transmission and install of the master cylinder / booster... specifically with the reservoir.
Im look for some specifics on what the fix is... i.e. part numbers, details etc...
Also, does anyone have a preference for rear brake options.

Perhaps consider the Dynatrac ProGrip kit? I'm running this kit and am pleased. No need to replace the MC and comes with all four discs.
It does a great job of braking with 37s and holds me in place in 4LO (my OEM brakes didn't) with my 6.0L and 6L80E.
I realize that your Atlas4 will give you a much lower overall gear, but figured I'd throw it out there.

I will probably end up with 60/60 PR in a year or two, and will do the MC at that time.

X2 on the Dynatrac ProGrip system. It is a complete bolt on kit, with nothing else needed, and it is a huge upgrade over stock. It also doesn't change the pedal feel like some of the other kits out there. Highly recommend.

Seriously though, one of the better upgrades I've made to my Jeep and provides enough increased performance that I see this as a necessary part of moving to larger tires / heavier rigs.
