Brake Booster

[Tbmitchell]

has anyone done an upgrade or a brake booster swap currently i have a 3/4 ton 44 in the front and a dana 60 in the rear of my ranger and im not sure that my brake booster will handle it...so was looking at other options for my truck and its a 83 ranger

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.

Im using the 1 1/8" piston (stock is 7/8"l) master cylinder from the 1-ton trucks, it cost me $25 from auto zone

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.
