Stronger brakes

[AdamDude04]

What can a person do to get stronger brake power?

My Bronco stops.. but it doesn't stop on a dime like these new cars an trucks these days.. Would a second booster help??

I'm not sure about a second booster. I'm not happy with the brakes on my 95 EB.I'm insalling rear disc brakes on the rear and will see if that helps.I'm sure others on this forum could give you good advice.

I usually pick a small foreign car in front of me to run over. That seems to help.

Check out the upgrade to an F-350 booster and master cylinder. I did that on my 84 Bronco, since it has the F-350 axles. JSM84

Bring the brakes back up to factory spec. front & back....99% of the time, that's the problem.

Stacking on more hardware is just band-aiding the problem.

Also., may want to insp. the existing booster.

Hmm so in a perfect world, can I use any brake rotors that will fit, along with calipers? Brake system off a F350? What years would work..?

Also, I thought about rear disc brakes, but most the weight is put up on the front of the truck..I have 70k miles on my new truck, and rear pads still have about half the pad left..and the front were just recently changed

Sorry, I was talkin about my 05 pickup. I was thinking of rear discs on the Bronco..but I just don't see how there is enough added benefit to accomplish what I'm looking for.
