Re: Squarebody 73-87 Brake Upgrade

OK I get that bigger thicker discs and bigger and wider drums give you more stopping power for hard braking but do I really NEED to do this on my 84 short bed? It will add unsprung weight don't forget. My 82 K10 stops great with the big brake set up (locks the rear under heavy braking) but that's quite a bit heavier. If you guys feel it's definitely worth it on all street trucks I'll do it. I need to buy the correct dropped spindles and all new parts anyways. Looks like the proportioning valve and booster/master all gets changed. Small point: the single booster is better looking than the dual. I'm sure this has been hammered on before so thanks for your patience.
