Hydroboost is a great upgrade, especially when using small brake kit on the rear IMO. It's going to be real fun truck to drive...

None of the yards here ever have 3rd gens of any kind in them....I keep an eye out on forums....I'm happy with my big brakes as is, just wonder how negative G inducing adding hydroboost would be lol.

It’s not even about the extra stopping power. The tighter pedal feel, losing the mushiness and “pump up” of the vacuum brakes makes it worth it.

Bled the **** out of my brakes and ABS pump, Plus those big rear 2 piston and bigger fixed 4 pistons up front don't suffer from it :)

Big brakes require big rims. Tires with short sidewalls don't have the traction or selection that 15" wheels offer.

Yeah, those giant 20" wheels..........the truck came with lol. That's only up front. Don't need 20's out back. What do you consider a short sidewall?

Lethal, since you are running the Holley system, are you using their wire harness also? Is it possible to run the Holley computer without the wire harness, and just run the wiring yourself using your old wires/connectors? The Holley system sounds very tempting but personally it’s not worth the 2 grand investment

Any tire that doesn't have sidewall flex..
Keeping mind not everyone is driving high powered trucks as daily drivers.. some just have to work harder at getting traction than others..

I can’t wait to see how it works out for you. It’s a very interesting idea
