ya, i thought of a hydroboost, and maybe still will if i cannot re-use the pieces i have. all it would take is just a tee in both of my PS lines. I'm still running the OG straight axle with a PS conversion kit so no rack to steal from.

yes the bolt up to a FW mount is certainly achievable, with the proper mount of course...my question was more the operation of the booster's diaphragm. does it matter which way the diaphragm moves? does it operate the same whether I'm pushing the diaphragm or pulling on it? (does a FW kit have a different dia then a frame mount??)
