low brake pedal after beefy axle swap

RE: JEEP RESTORE IS DONE!

I just drove my Jeep for the first time since May 19. I had some time on my hands so I tore it all apart and put it back together this summer. he he -- seriously.

Anyway I swapped in a couple of D44s from a 88 FSJ. The pedal feels way lower than it should. Im thinking its because of the 2" larger brakes that came along with the D44s. Im guessing I need a bigger bored master cylinder.. ? Yes? No?

If so would the FSJ master cyl fit to my 87 YJ booster and under the hood etc????

or what would... Whats this corvette Master cyl thing Ive read about...?

You're onto something, the master cylinder is likely not able to push enough fluid for larger calipers and brake cylinders. Check out the Ford E350 master cylinder upgrade.
