Yep I agree but what I have been told is having 3 piston or more brake calipers requires a larger master cylinder. Since the brake and clutch cylinder is one unit and clutch clave cylinder is on the go so i am thinking of eliminating the entire problem at once.

If the stock brakes are capable of grabbing hard enough to have the ABS kick in, what benefit would there be to stronger brakes?

true if you are runninng stock.

But to run it legal in some countires with extreme mods lets says 1 ton dana 60 diffs, 37 inch tires, bumpers winches all that extra load and to top off with hemi power that stock brake arent good enough.

Regardless of abs if the brake calipers are not up to the task then we have a problem.

ALso it depends on personal preference some people like to be safe on roads doing 100 miles per hour
