X-Brake

I fucking love mine. It's been on there for about 10 years.

Glue the pads with silicone and they dont rattle. It's a massive upgrade, makes servicing easier .

Paddocks has a great price on them



Edit: forgot to mention it saved my life last year! Hit some garbage in the road and the driver side Hardline to the caliper was cut on the highway.

When coming down the extra ramp (this was prior to all the brake conversions I did ) the pedal was useless , I was still doing about 65mph.

Code brown.

I slowly pulled up on the xbrake and the truck shuddered to a halt in the shoulder.

Myself and the cars infront of me would have been dust otherwise.

A month later I converted to Chevy master, booster, removed the pwda and I'd the rear disc conversion.

Do you have a write up on your brake conversion? I am a firm believer that that with more Power - there should be more restraint! As I am waiting on my cummins to arrive - I am filling my truck time with other projects that make sense. I have an '88 Ninety with rear drums....I would like to eventually upgrade the axle to include disks. Would you recommend that prior to master / booster upgrades. What did these mods do for your braking?
