tundra brake swap on SAS
hey guys, i have done the trail-gear ifs eliminator kit and have recently been looking around on the tacoma forum and read that the tacoma's are doing the tundra break swap. my question is, if i were to buy the tacoma caliper brackets for the toyota 8" front axle from front range offroad i should be able to do the tundra swap correct?
also, how will the brake master cylinder handle the bigger calipers? since this is a tacoma upgrade how are the 2 master cylinders comparable?

I dont see why not.
Usually bigger calipers makes more braking power even with the same size master. Just increasing the size of the slave hydraulic gives more hydraulic leverage. So I think it would be to the same affect as the tacoma tundra brake swap. Way better brakes. IMO
But lets see what others have to say.

thanks for the insight that guy. i think trail gear and marlin and i am sure several other comapnies have a 1" bore master cylinder with a 2lb residual built into the master cylinder. other than the residual, should there be a difference in the master cylinder? will it have upgraded flow or pressure capabilities?
