Default J8 Brake Kit (Mopar P5160050)

I know these J8 Booster/MC kits are on national backorder until at least November... The question I have is, is the booster in the kit bigger, more effective than what comes in the Jeep, or is it just a run of the mill factory booster? The fact that these kits aren't available alludes to the idea that yes, the booster is indeed different. But I figured I'd ask just to be sure.

Yes, the booster is larger and the opening where the J8 MC mates is larger........so you can't use the factory MC with the new booster, nor the J8 MC with factory booster (what I recall from my kit a ways back).
