Hi all have a 1990 model rcsb c1500 that is bodydropped and ungoing airbags all round. Wheels are 265/35/22. Just wondering if anyone has put smaller brake boosters on there trucks? im quite sure my wheel is going to hit before the truck lays out. any advice would be good, cheers ryan

most go for the hydroboost setup rather then a smaller booster.

i have used a van booster on certain other projects.

with hydroboost they rely on a lot of vaccum correct? I have a big cammed 700hp lsx motor going in my truck so im thinking hydro boost aint going to wok very well for me as manifold vaccum is not going to be as high as a stock engine? i was thinking bout this booster in the link provided, size wise it would be ideal!

hydroboost mainly relies on the powersteering pump for pressure.

your current booster relies on a vaccum signal.

LIke he said hydroboost relies completely on the power steering pump for pressure. It is used on all diesel trucks because they do not create vacuum. My truck has hydroboost on it if you need pics.
