ummm okay so big tires what to do now

okay through a little trading and stuff I upgraded(?) my 42s to 44s still pitbull rockers.

Wow the braking difference from 42s to 44s is kind of scary I bet it takes me 30 ft further to stop from just about any decent highway speed. I can't believe how much braking power these things suck up.

So do ya think a new master cylinder would do that much, upgraded pads? upgraded rotors? I am thinking upgraded pads for sure, my brakes were HOT after a couple of test stops.

But man it looks oh so cool we will see if I break stuff umm well today taking it wheeling on the 44s for the first time this afternoon

Do you have discs or drums in the rear? A disc swap would help out. Hydroboost would be a good upgrade too. I'm assuming you're running a D60....if not (you will be soon if you're still on a D44), a 60 would have bigger brakes.

Yes its a 60 in front 14 bolt rear with discs. Never even thought about the hydroboost.

Do you still have the stock master cylinder and prop/combo valve? I really can't recomend a better master (I know it's been discussed before though). An adjustable prop valve would let you dial in more rear brake.

However....I think this problem is more along the lines of not having enough clamping force, not a lack of all 4 working. Maybe wait to see what the morning crew has to say.

I'd try the 1 ton booster swap first before I messed with the master cylinder.
