worn axle pivot bushings, radius arm bushings and all the other fun stuff that has been mentioned.
by the way you dont need hydraboost or rear disc to stop well in the broncos. Having quality parts installed correctly and you will be in good shape.
guys lets not set this lady on a path to $$$$.

Yes lol , not trying to make any one spend $$$ at all, I stop good now ,but know 4 wheel discs are better(I hope). And Kem , I will agree quality is the key to good parts that perform well. TR

I suppose I've never had to hit the brake that hard but my Bronco always seemed to stop great! Even now with the 7.3 and no ABS I don't seem to have issues. I don't know how much bigger tires play a role on that though. I've had 33" tires the entire time I've had my truck and think I'll stay there just so I can keep my MPG up!
Those new tires do look pretty great. I wish my tires could stay clean looking, but these dirt roads always make them dull!! I know, it's a truck so it has to get dirty sometimes.

Haha yeah they definitely looked like they had some special cleaning done to them. I've tried shining mine up before, but whatever I put on the tire likes to attract dust even more after a few days. I'll just have to wait until monsoon season so that the roads are always damp. Then my tires will look nice and black.
