Rear disc brake conversion question.
My truck currently is equipped with front discs and rear drums. I want to upgrade to four wheels disc brakes, but I do not want to add the power brake booster. Is there any foreseeable problems with four wheel non power brakes? Truck is a shortbed, regular cab two wheel drive.

[QUOTE=4x4 Bart;13359733]I would think it would require more pedal force for the same amount of stopping distance. Whether it would be too much, you would just have to try it and see.[/
When we did the upgrade we went from drum brakes to disc and it peddle pressure did not increase. Remember the rear brakes only do 20% of the stopping. The most important part is changing the proportioning valve to a dual disc or an adjustable one.
