Default Teraflex big brake kit, yay or nay?

I'm about to pull the trigger on this kit. Wanted some feedback from people that are running them. I have done some research and have found mixed reviews. Half say they are great and the other half are disappointed with the feel of the pedal. Any input would be appreciated.

What size tires are you running? And are you having trouble stopping now?

37 trail grapplers. Noticeable decrease in stopping power and holding power when off-road, plus I have a ski boat I pull.

Yeah I think they would be a good investment for you. I don't have experience with the TF kit, but have used Brembo and it was a nice improvement in stopping power

I did TF kit, stainless lines and the fluid reservoir worked great for me. I had a soft pedal not so anymore.

I have... love it. Started with just the brake kit but yes pedal was softer, though they DID recommend the upgraded Master Cylinder. So I ended up getting that and the pedal is much firmer and I am very happy the the increased stopping power.

37" Goodyear MTR with Stainless Steel Brake Lines on 3.5" Lift.
