Hi, I just found your channel. I am a long-time retired Jeep guy myself but I had not heard of this swap. I am building an '87 YJ for my grandson. Nothing on it is stock except the frame and sheet metal. 5.2 Dodge, 8.8 ford, etc. The extra braking would be great for the 4 whl disks. I have a 95 booster but this is much stronger. Thank you, Sir. Subbed.

Hi there. Do you know specifically what vehicle the booster and master cylinder came from? Looking to upgrade mine too. I know you said it was from an 89 Chevy 1/2 ton but more info would be helpful. Thanks!

It has been a couple years since I did this swap and there are no markings left on it. As I remember, it was part #54-71046 from O'Reilly auto. (Was pretty sure I used the 10 1/2" booster. There is also a 9" that might fit better, but I think the larger one had the better bolt pattern.
