Default Anyone Running 35" tires and larger

Any of you Jeepers running oversize tires how are you braking? I have only seen a Teraflexx kit. Is there another braking kit out there or are the factory brakes sufficient? Thanx in advance.

Well, I've been running 35" tires since March and have since put on about 11,000 miles on them and feel that my brakes still feel more than adequate.

I remember reading that one of the shops put the big brakes found on the special edition WJ, whatever it's called. Maybe somebody else has more info.

I have been running 35's for around 3000 miles and the 4 wheel disc brakes do a great job of stopping. Youll love going with the 35's, I think it makes the JK look how it should come from the factory
