I'm sure many have but have you thought about bigger rotors, pads, and calipers yet?

If you have 3/4 ton calipers the brakes should be plenty big.The brake booster from the early 90s that looks different than yours bolts in and has two diaphragms and applies more power.

The 11/8 piston is made for the newer vacuum booster.The smaller the piston the more power in the brakes but the more throw in the pedal.
