I just got a hydro booster this weekend and just wondering if anyone else has put it on there rigs??

Do I need to change out my proportioning value also??

My understanding this system will awsome braking and now with 38" tires I would like a little more braking power

I am putting this system on a truck that was a manual brake truck. My research showed that I did not need to add a proportioning valve unless I was changing from drums all around to discs up front, drums in the rear.

If you already have a proportioning valve, I don't have an opinion on whether it needs to be changed.
