I'm switching from a 2008 Liberty to a 2015 Wrangler Rubicon. I''m not going to move my Liberty's brake system to the new Jeep, time for something new.
I need a new brake system -- what do you suggest, and why?
Factors: ease of installation (cuz that can become a crazy/expensive job), price to buy, and how well it does the job of applying brakes appropriately.
I'm aware of the main three types:
-- electric always in place, solenoid or similar pulls on brake pedal
-- electric move in/out of place, arm presses on brake pedal
-- mechanical surge brake, cable from tow bar pulls on brake pedal
If you are using a recent vintage brake system, especially on a recent vintage Wrangler (2007 or newer is the current JK chassis), I'd love to hear about it.
My rig is a gas coach so Air Force one or similar is not useable. I'll continue to use my BlueOx Aventa LX tow bar.
we use, like and recommend the Unified Tow Brake from US Gear.
