Question Hydro Booster?

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 give it awsome braking and now with 38" tires I would like a little more braking power!!

Are you talking about a booster that runs off of the power steering pump? If so where did you get it?

I think the ones from a 73-87 will fit as well.

I got one, but I'm years from putting it on. Mine came off a 82 C-10 Diesel. I wanted it for a cleaner look and better braking. It takes some mods to get it in. Ask Yukon Jack, he put one in his truck. It's not real easy, but not real hard either.

No you don't need to change your proportioning valve.
More info

Thanks for the replys!!

I didn't think I needed to change the value but I had to ask..

I got the hole thing at my local pick-n-pull (booster,master cylinder and all the hoses all for $33.00 buck)

Thanks again
