Dual pistons not only give you more clamping pressure, but they give a lot more even stopping power over the rotor surface compared to a single piston.

As stated above - which would be better 1 piston or 2 ? I'd look into the HD BRAKE SYSTEM. My '75 F-250 SuperCab has the HD brakes. The truck is not a 4X4 but the REAR brakes are 1/2" smaller AND 1/2" wider and the front brakes are dual piston AND the brake booster is deeper.
