Brakes
Does anyone know if swapping a power brake booster and master cylinder into my 88 4wd from a 96-99 4wd will improve braking/pedal feel? What needs to be swapped to make this work right.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |

What exactly are you looking for? (What is "improved"?) Are the brakes too hard or too soft? Or is it the 1/2 mile of pedal travel before you actually start braking that is bothering you?
 Unfortunatley GM has designed them that way, but some trucks are not as bad as others.  If they're all the same part numbers then it probably won't. Might call a parts store and ask for price on a booster and M/C for an '88, then ask if that's the same part number for '96-ish. If they're not then you might see good results. Of course they might not be compatible, too. I don't know if 4-wheel ABS that was available on later models would affect this. Also, I know the ext. cabs got bigger brakes (at least in the earlier years) so that might matter if you're swapping from reg. cab into an ext. cab. I wanna hear how this turns out. Ben
