Brake question im not sure has been asked yet....

Has anyone here ever swapped their brake booster out to a smaller diameter one?

Im laying my truck out on 24s with a big tire, and im finding that my tires are contacting my brake booster just before laying out.

Im not sure if anyone here has ran one or not, i cannot find a thread talking about it anywhere, so i figured i would ask.

Has anyone used one of those 7 or 9 inch booster and master cylinder combos from ebay?

Any ideas?

Heres an even better question.

Has anyone swapped a booster from an earlier model C10 to a later model C10?

like a 60s to an 80s?

I can find a pretty nice dual diapharam booster for the 60s c10 trucks, that is only 8" diameter.
