trying to figure out what to do with my stock brake booster on my 4.3 blazer. laying on 22's right now and obviously the stocker doesn't fit. i ripped out the ABS stuff out and heard the booster from a geo metro works. i understand its gonna need quite a bit more pedal to get the truck to a stop. i seen thepost about a hydro booster but that sounds expensive. not looking to build a show piece, just a clean daily dragger. thanks for the help!

i used an aftermarket streetrod booster that has the same bolt pattern as the firewall. the 7" dual diaphram boosters will offer more boost than the factory boosters that come on metros and other microcars. I dont know how wide you wheels are, but if it still doesnt fit you can always move it in towards the center a little.

I just bodydropped an s-10 with 20's, and I used a booster from an old first gen s-10 The only thing I had to do as take the new style push rod that is on the 2001, and welded that end to the older booster I think I had to shorten the old push rod to have the right dimentions hope this helps, and it only costed $15 at a boneyard
