I just got my dynatrac kit delivered today, and I can't wait to install it. I am just running 35s and have taken measures to minimize weight (aluminum skids). So just the jeep itself stops fine with factory brakes. But I've got a 1400 lb camping trailer that has to stop too. I think this kit will do it. Also, a local jeep club guy told me the JK "Mating call" disappears with the dynatrac brakes. You know, that sound your brakes make when you're on a ledge and trying to creep down it...rrrrrrrrrrrr, rrrrrrrrruuuuuuuhhhhhh, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh

Buy 17inch rims or smaller tires.

You're not going to find a larger rotor or caliper that will fit with a 15

you could always look into a better rotor of the same diameter and go with EBC brake pads. I've heard they make a big difference depending on what "color" you go with.

I used these on my last jeep, 37s, a lot of steel skids, and a trailer. They were great. Idk if they fit 15s call and ask:

Not really buying the 40% improvement claim though. There is an improvement, but 40% is a high guess.

EBC is more geared towards racing applications. Their yellow stuff pads are the best option for a DD, but they don't improve braking power much, just brake fade. The other ones grip more, but take longer to warm up and wear the pad and rotor out faster.
