If you have a Jeep JK Wrangler and one that's running bigger tires, I'm sure you've noticed a significant decrease in the amount of stopping power your factory brakes provide. While there are a lot of brake kits out there to address this, most are pretty pricey and only come with new front rotors and a new master cylinder. While these kits do help improve your ability to stop, they still tend to lock up your tires and cause a considerable amount of nose dive. Of course, this is because they only address the front end of your Jeep. In an effort to address these issues and provide a significantly better braking system, Dynatrac developed their all new ProGRIP brake system just for you.
First and foremost, what makes the Dynatrac ProGRIP brake system so much better is the fact that it upgrades both front and rear brakes. They do this with new larger rotors, new bigger caliper brackets that sit farther out from the axle centerline and with new proprietary brake pads that provide maximum adhesion of your tires to the ground without locking them up. Of course, being that this kit utilizes the factory calipers, there is no need change out your master cylinder or address any of the plumbing and this means it's super easy to install and there no loss in pedal feel. All this results in an affordable balanced brake system that gives you a 30% reduction in stopping distance.
This short video will highlight the Dyantrac ProGRIP brake system, all the components that comes with it and even covers the basic installation of it to show you just how easy it is to do. We hope that you find it educational and helpful.
I just wrapped up my kit install. While your in there, its a good time to adjust your ebrake which is simple to do.
As much as I'd love to get this kit, with the Canadian dollar in the toilet and bringing it to over $1,300 CAD, I'll have to wait it out until our dollar is higher. Looks like an amazing product.
Just installed mine today. This kit is no joke. After break in I performed a couple hard stops and man oh man...! Stops my JKUR on a dime riding on 35's and 3" lift. Still notice some nose dive but goddamn! Stops like my old E90 M3 and that's no lie.
great video! something I've had issues with on other vehicles I went bigger on brakes was rotor/wheel clearance. I didn't see where wheel fitment was addressed but found it on Dynatrac's website: "The Dynatrac ProGrip Brake System fits Jeep Wranglers with 17-inch wheels (wheel spacers are required with 17-inch factory wheels), and the system will fit in nearly all aftermarket wheels without spacers. NOTE: This kit does not fit Mickey Thompson Sidebiter II wheels due to the unusual inner profile of the wheel."
Great info. Just what I needed to know. Want a kit to put on without changing the master cyc. Thanks. Always enjoy watching!
Glad it was helpful!
@@wayalife is that what you are still running or did you go TeraFlex big brake kit when you went w/V8? Just curious. I’m looking into installing the Edenlbrock E Force SC kit to our 3.6. Any thoughts?
Great stuff, but what got my attention is the suspension, it is coil-over with an additional external shock, that's 2 shock on each side, total 8 shocks, no wonder you said the nose doesn't dive when you break!
+DeZert Fox eh, you can believe that if you want but you'd be wrong. Before the installation of the new brakes, we still saw considerable nose dive and saw even more on a similarly built Jeep running big brakes up front only. On that Jeep, the nose dive was even greater due to the front brakes doing all the work.
Hey Eddie and Cindy, thanks for the great video and step-by-step instructions. Many thanks!! Rob.
+Rob Goetz Glad you liked it, thanks :)
look like the new bracket is a lil big some of the pad hangs over the edge of the rotor
Great video product review and quick reference install! Thanks Eddie and Cindy!
+Cozdude Thanks Steve :)
This kit looks great! Do you know if the mopar larger master cylinder for the JK work with this kit?
Should have made clear that you should pump the brakes to take up the slack between pads, disc and caliper BEFORE driving, as someone is bound not to and find they have next to no brakes the first time they press the pedal. I know that's a bit saftey-sally but it does happen.
+Mikeys Garage I suppose there's a lot of things I could have made clear but doing a complete and thorough installation video wasn't what we were trying to do. In fact, as you may not have noticed, we only covered the installation of the front kit only and not the rear let alone how to wrap things up. What I do make very clear is that the installation process we show was for "reference ONLY" to "help illustrate just how easy it is to install". I specifically state that people need to READ THE DIRECTIONS to verify that they are doing things correctly. The instructions give detailed steps that you need to follow and it covers way more than we showed in the video including how to properly break in the brake pads.
Great Video. Seems like a straightforward install.
The jeep performance parts aftermarket is becoming huge. There's something for every type of modification.
Great video! Can't wait to get the Dynatrac Brake System on my JK
+Tony Inglima Thanks and the difference is amazing!
Eddy, your videos are always helpful.
+TUFTRLZ (TUFTRLZ) Glad to hear it, thank you.
I would love to advertise these at my jeep meets!!!
Excuse my ignorance, I get the stopping power of a larger rotor, but if the break pads are not bigger to grip those bigger rotors what's the point? for what I understand moving the caliper outward creates more leverage, but also more friction/ heat, are you relying exclusively in the ceramic material of the pad? without considering increasing the size of the break pad? I need to upgrade my breaks, I installed a lift an a conservative 35 inch tire size I can feel the difference in the breaking with added weight and tire size an upgrade is necessary and fast.
i wouldn't use threadlocker on the caliper bracket bolts. torque 'em and they'll never back out.
+alexrex20 I have seen caliper bracket bolts loosen up and fall off on the trail more than once. So that it isn't missed, they come with thread locker from the factory.
Wayalife Well not gonna argue with you there then. And it's always best to follow the factory instructions anyway. I've just never done it. It's served me well... so far... lol
Nice. Only thing not mentioned is do they fit inside factory rims? And or what size rims are needed.
+brokenlegz Yes, they will fit on a factory 17" wheel.
love the orange jeep... i wonder what lift and tire size is it running on .....
best looking according to me... very much my style
Pretty sure that's Wayalife's infamous Rubi-Cat (named with the help of his forum) I believe it's running 37's on ATX Slabs with Evo's (Off-Road Evolution) bolt on coil-over system with King shocks and the double drop down in the rear.
hello, great video thank you. wondering what are the brand & name of the wheels on the jeep ? Thanks
I thought that brake power was distributed the way it is so the lighter back end don't lock up first and you lose control. By making the braking power shift towards the back end and thus reducing nose dive, aren't you creating a hazard? What research have you done on this?
Don't have a clue as to how you're coming to these conclusions of yours but apparently, you're the expert here. Go with whatever your thoughts tell you to go with.
Have you ever ridden a bicycle? What happens if you get on the front brakes harder than the rear brakes? When pulling a trailer which brakes should you apply the most force to? The correct answer to these question should give you a clue as to why you want a bit more pressure applied to the rear brakes.
Sorry, my response was intended for the other guy and got confused.
Wish they made it for the TJ D:
So where can u buy replacement pads?
+Brandon Harrison You can order them directly though Dynatrac or any vendor that sells their products. Of course, if you need something in a pinch, you can still run factory pads as well.
This is great. Do they make it for the JL?
To the best of my knowledge, no but then, I don't think it's really necessary on a JL
Hello, what is the reference of the tire, size, inches and what lifting kit does it have? Thank you.
In this video, we were running an EVO DTD coilover lift set at 3.5" and with EVO long arms. Tires were 40x15.50's mounted on 20" ATX Slab beadlocks.
great product review, what can one expect to pay for this system?
+a1xavier The whole kit is $995
+Wayalife for 4xrotors, brackets and pads that seems like a fantastic price!
Very nice video.
+Roy Mayberry Thank you
Well this is more sensible than the ones dba sells that they claim are patterned after their kangaroo paws...
Dig it!
Great video!
+Ryan Thank you :)
I want!
4X4ever Jeep
DE VEHICULOS MILITARES A HISTORICOS AVENTUREROS YEAH jejeje
I have a hyper green rubicon unlimited and I want the rims on this jeep , does anyone have some info they could share..thanks
They are the ATX AX757 Chamber Pro II
great video!!! Well done
do some videos on old zj's (grand cherokees)
LOL!! Well, we would if we owned one but alas, we don't. Sorry.
Did I hear correctly that this system is meant to brake all 4 wheels simultaneously? Is that something that needs to be programmed or something to make that work? Thanks!
do you have a setup for bmw x5 systems?
What size tires are those?
Great video
Do they make it for wk jeeps .?
the ABS will stop it to skid nothing else will not the upgrade brakes. Upgraded rotors are useless unless they are upgraded to grooved or drilled or both.
4 years late but you’re wrong. A larger rotor will give you more brake torque, similar to how you get more torque from a breaker bar vs a ratchet
@@SiscoSelzun you moron you know nothing.
@@jasonswift7098 I mean, you don’t have to believe me. You can do the research yourself but you’re gonna find the same thing I just said
@@SiscoSelzun No I won't I base my comments on facts and experience that happens in the real world.
@@jasonswift7098 Then maybe spend some time learning how brakes actually work instead of playing Gran Turismo. This thread is a week old already and I only commented to inform anyone who’s thinking of buying this kit.
Larger diameter rotor = more brake torque. That’s literally how it works
bayılıyorum bu rubiconlar kısmet diyelim.
Would it fit with 16 inch rims? Or is the minimum 17"
I suppose it is possible to fit on a 16" wheel but I wouldn't recommend 16" even if you could. 17" is a much more common size and you'll find that there are a LOT more options available in terms of wheel options and tire sizes and a lot of times, for less money.
Would I have to part with my 15s?
Yes, this only work in 17 inch wheels and you will need a wheel spacer if you have 17" factory wheels.
Good
Does anyone know the speed that they were going at towards the end of the video? Trying to gauge the net gain in braking distance with the pro-grips.
do they make the kit for other jeeps like xjs?
+Bryce Jones Honestly, I don't know for sure but if they do, it would just be a budget boost.
will these fit 16in rims?
3keystolife I dont think so
I want
Im sold!
