Explorer Brakebooster on a F150???

We're bagging my lightning as we speak, and as i said in another thread the tire is bumping the brakebooster fully laid out, a guy mentioned using a explorer brakebooster? any one else ever done this? if so what year explorer and how did it work out for you? thanks

yeah explorer/ranger, you just have to extend the rod, Works great on f150s

oh i used a 2000 boster on my 04 heratige

I used a 1998 explorer booster on a sfbd 2000 f-150, and worked grrrrrr8. If you haven't had any trouble with the upper control arm yet you prolly will. VERY easy to modify..

thanks, how are your brakes, a bit toughter to press? my only concern is that its a lightning and thats a big motor and alot of power to stop?

what happens with the UCA'? i'm running DJM UCA and LCA's. i just bought a 99 Explorer booster out of a eddie baur 5.0 for 30 bucks, so hope to have it on next week.

im pretty sure its based on vacuum, i didnt notice much but i had a longbed w/ the 4.2L sfbd. stopped just fine after the bodydrop and everything - depends on how you drive, if your floring it from light to light you may wanna go bigger???? i dunno

with these gas prices def. not flooring it any more, i think it will be find, power brakes is a luxury anyways, they didnt have em back in the day, so if i gotta push a lil harder to look good so be it.

the explorer booster should work just fine.

Yeah, the guy we did the truck for bought the DJM lowers, but didn't want to spend the x-tra coin to get the uppers some peoples kids ha
