In fact you did. At the time it did not seem this was strictly a MC/booster swap. I was of the mind that I would then need to swap brake calipers, backing plates, etc, to complete the 1 ton upgrade.

I did read a faq on upgrading brakes, but it seems there were so many options and none were as straight forward as "bolt on a new MC/booster".

Hence my followup questions if the 1 tone MC/booster is really just a bolt on upgrade while the rest stays the same.

I was thinking the cost that you will have to get it right would be the same if you set it up as a one ton, but do the calipers later. Calipers have a problem fitting on 15" wheels, some grinding required or go with larger wheels

Just kidding about the "I told ya"
