 This is supposed to be a really good upgrade. I wish I knew someone with experience with it.

$421 here http://mudflaps.com/i-13978043-crown-automotive-ddbxj2-dual-diaphragm-booster.html

I googled it but couldn't find anyone with first hand experience.

I think this is the same thing as the bobs upgrade JP magazine did an install and review on that one not sure but I know my 96 booster is a great upgrade and picked it up for 25$

I did the 96 upgrade on my 86 I use to have. It does make a noticeable difference.

The only benefit to the kit is that you wouldn't have to make a spacer for the firewall or grind the rod flat for the brake switch on early MJs and XJs. But I still don't see where the extra cost factors in. For $180 you can get new Raybestos MC and booster from Rock Auto.

The plate is on stock just pull it at the JY when you get the booster like I said 25$ forget 421$ or even 180$ save it for other upgrades

Definatly a huge difference! Here is my write up.

For me it was just easier to make my own spacer. I'd rather have the peace of mind with a new booster.
