I forgot to mention that. These are 17" level 8 tracker wheels. I can definitely tell u any smaller diameter, and the brakes will not fit.

Nice write up. These are quickly making their way toward the top of my to do list. Have to keep the family safe!

I've been running the ProGrip since they came out a year ago. I've put about 10,000 miles on them. Seem to be wearing well with a little more than half of the wear left on the pad (sorry, couldn't get a good picture). I will let you know when I have to replace the pads. I'm pretty hard on brakes and had replaced my stock pads about every 15,000 miles.
Dynatrac does sell the pads separately but I think you have to call them directly for them (I asked when I purchased mine)

Not sure, but I wouldn't just install the rear.

Just installed the Dyantrac ProGrip Brake Kit on my JKUR, and couldn't agree more about how well the brakes work now. Well worth the price. Eddie's video and these pics were a big help in completing the install. However, I guess I'm unfortunate in that I'm running AEV Pintler wheels, and the clearance is so tight, all the balancing weights were knocked off, front and rear. Seems they clear in these pic, though, on this particular wheel. Took it to Discount Tire to see if they had an alternative. No luck. Maybe I'm just not going to the right place. Any ideas on balancing? I'm running 35" Toyos, not that it matters.

Maybe some balancing beads?

They just don't have enough backspacing to clear the weights. You could do a static balance and have the weights on the outside as an alternative

Thanks for the write up. When it's time for a brake job I'm definitely going this route instead of stock replacements.

nope, only a full kit...

Thanks for the tip. The guy at DT said the same thing, but in his experience, they hadn't worked well. Suggested I do some research before going that direction.

True, but figured they'd get knocked off in the rocks, which is primarily how I use mine. I've got all kinds of rash now, and one split rim. Thanks, though.

Too close for comfort
Any relative motion between the caliper/bracket and the wheel would cause a mess (IMO). I've got similar Level 8 wheels and would be hesitant to install something with such a small clearance to the balancing weights.

Yes he is and I'm gonna say no because of how much back spacing is on both of those wheels. I know on my chamber pro's my stock calipers are barely in the wheel well
