What brake setup for larger tires?
I plan to run 37" or bigger tires on my 71 GMC. What kind of a brake setup should I go with so I still have good braking power? Also the brake booster is not working right now. Is there an upgraded one I can go with?

Re: What brake setup for larger tires?
You can go with a Hydro Boost upgrade. Make sure you have disc in the front. As for the back it back and forth on disc vs. drum in the back. I say disc.

Read through this thread. If you go new it can be pricey, but I have seen it done for cheap.
