This guy had a custom Dana 60 built and upgraded the front brakes. Look at the size of those calipers! Not sure what it would take to do this though.

i have no problem w/ 93 4x4 duelly
except vac booster is bad its either makes brakes to tiuchy or to hard, ill replace it soon' as 4 brakes, except 4 that mine stop good, keep rears adjusted every 3 months, best to pull drums, flush brake fluid, w/ a rev flusher, the guys on
tv sam m says these r best, anyway use dot 5 the best u can get for fluid
my fronts were nre at 100k when i bot trk
