Is anyone not completely satisfied with their disc brake conversion on their 3/4 ton? Did mine back in 2015 and I'm not saying inadequate but just not up to what I expected. The calipers, pads and rotors came from a 1982 Chevy 4wd 1/2 ton. The bracketry was made to fit perfectly. I used a CCP dual m/c, proportioning valve and an 8 " booster with a vacuum reservoir. They stop well enough at 45 mph but at 65 I don't know if I would rear end someone. The pedal is great, goes down just a bit when you start the engine like all boosted systems do. No matter how hard I jam on the pedal I can't lock up the brakes. Which I know decreases your stopping distance. You want to be just at that critical moment before lock up to get the best stopping power and shortest distance. I learned this in Motorcycle safety school. The rear brakes I've kept adjusted. The engine vacuum is 18" here in Arizona at 3000 ft. That should be plenty. I wonder if switching to an organic pad instead of a semi-metallic would be beneficial? This is one of the first kits I found for the 3/4 ton. Plenty for the 1/2 ton. They put disc brakes on everything nowadays so they should work as expected. Please feel free to give me your opinions good and bad please.
