Brakes

Is a duel piston and 10 inch brakes going to make a huge difference in stopping power over the stock brake set up? I am only running 31s. Thank you

I didn't notice a difference on my '85.

I like that the calipers bolt on more than anything. I never had a problem with the wedge pins but I just like the more modern mounting.

I added 10 rear drums to an 87 Ranger. I was concerned about the front rear proportioning. The overall breaking was improved, not huge but easily felt after having driven the vehicle for 6 years.

I also added 10 drums to an 87 Bronco II; same result, just felt better, more secure...as I have aged I generally drive more and more cautious but the addition of the 10" drums were both positive and confidence instilling.

I desire to install the dual front pistons on both of these vehicles. It is more brake pressure spread out with two pucs; one could fail but can still limp home one one puc. It also disperses the heat over the two pucs. Everything I know about hydraulics and heat reduction tell me that there is no way that it isn't a significant design improvement.
