WHOA....those are brakes

[shelby987]

So I was told a couple of years ago regarding my fathers truck that I didn't need to swap out for disc. brakes, just put on a booster.....always figured the guy was crazy.....but my trucks brakes have been wearing on my right knee (That I have already had scoped once, and need to have done again)....so this weekend I swapped in a booster....needless to say the time spent crammed between the floor and the steering wheel were well worth it....I can hardly touch the brakes without them locking up, almost bounced my girlfriend off the dashboard, she thought I was messing with her.

I only have MAYBE 2" of travel....and using much more than the first 1" will lock these things up.....is this correct? It is a 3/4t booster....its HUGE!

What are advantages of switching to disc brakes down the road? disadvantages to drums? (plan on the swap, its just not as immediate now that I have power brakes).
