CWLONGSHOT Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I herd this nonsence as well when I put the 8.8 in the rear of my TJ. NOT TRUE!!! A REAL prop valve IS A GOOD idea in a MJ as the crappy rear mounted one is problematic to say the least. But to say you MUST do this OR____ will happen is a load of crap! I have NO problem with the rear disc's on my TJ using the factory brake lines, prop valve, MC and vac booster. I also ran the rear brakes on my MJ by just removing the rear prop valve and changing the line in the fornt dist block with ZERO PROBLEMS!!! Yea the rear will lock up first, but so did the rear on EVERY single PU I have ever driven!! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 My height-sensing loading valve BS doesn't work. The 8.8 worked fine with disks with all the stock stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88swampedmj Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 could i just hook the 8.8 to my stock lines? i noticed they are also a little thicker than the 8.8 brake lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
