Jeep cutting brakes wont cut... aka they wont hold..

I just finished up installing "Cutting" brakes on my Jeep. I was pretty proud of myself when I finished UNTIL I took it for a test drive. The brakes don't have enough power to hold the tire from spinning. I used Wilwood master cylinders and levers, Dodge Avenger rear brake calipers and premade brake lines with Banjo fittings on both ends. They work good enough to slow the Jeep down, but I need more holding power to do front digs and such. Any idea what I should change? Maybe use a front caliper with more contact with the rotor?

Let me know what you think.

 

Just a FYI, the firs pic is of the handles I made. I ended up buying the Wilwood handles

 

Definitely bigger calipers or a TC that allows you to put the rear in neutral.

 

I have a Atlas and its pretty sweet if I do say so myself..... Just looking at the second pic makes me think a larger caliper is in order.

I have contacted Jeff Bezos and I "should" have a set of front calipers and brake pads for a F150 tomorrow.
Looking at all the info I could find, they should work (I hope)

 

Sweet! I get my Atlas in January.

 

I will be using it mostly for front digs.... Say I need to get the front of the Jeep to move to the left to make it easier to hit a obstacle. I would disengage the rear axle via the Atlas transfer case. Pull the left lever, locking up the left rear wheel. Turn the front wheels hard left and let the clutch out. In theory the Jeep should pivot on the locked up left rear wheel.... kind of like a old farm tractor. Once its in the position I want, put it back in 4 wheel drive and go.
