Who tows with a 1st gen Dodge?

[Rob_O]

if you do the rear shoes upgrade to the bigger chevy wheel cylinders too.. all bolt on

Already planned on using the big Chevy wheel cylinders, mostly because they are in stock at the parts store. The Dodge pieces have to be special ordered

Vatozone also shows a different brake adjuster kit for the 3" shoes, is it necessary these be changed to make it work?

I had to use a 92 model about a year or so ago when my truck was down. I bought a Deere disk and had to haul it home about 95 miles. The truck was stock and did very well pulling the disk on a 30ft. PJ trailer. Couldn't stop for nothing.

I replaced both front soft hoses and the hard lines. The truck stops 100% better.

My brother hauls with his all the time going to horse shows,hauling calves hay everything and loves it. He's been hauling with it for a while now and no problems with the truck

Agreed the brakes are the down fall for sure. Good trailer brakes on all axles help a lot.

I have done disc brake swaps on rock crawlers before. Has anyone done any on these trucks? I am thinking of doing one also what hydroboost setup is everyone switching to? Booster, hoses, part num, OR year make model, etc.

Thank you
