Upgrade Brakes??

Is there a way to upgrade the brakes on an F-150? I'm hoping for some fairly inexpensive bolt-ons. Whenever I haul something...and I dont usually....it seems like it takes alot more pedal to stop. Anyone know?? I'd like to get me an 8 or 9ft camper soon so better stopping power would be a nice addition!!!

TIA

Yep,

There are several threads that cover this & I'm pretty sure there is a tech article as well.

It involves swapping in an F-350 Booster.

Most people have bad brakes because they haven't been set up according to Ford's intructions.

Especially 78's & 9's when they bleed the system.
