I didn't see any brake booster on that article. I've driven plenty of vehicles with deleted boosters. Yes vehicles under 2500lbs have boosters, but my point was I have a braking system suitable for a 4500 pound vehicle.

Yes I am smart enough to do it without any help, and I'm also smart enough to realize the easiest way is to use your resources.
From my experience and research the only drawback is how hard I have to push the pedal.

At 2500 lbs, I'm wondering what else has already been deleted.

Go ahead and delete the booster if that's what you want. There's *******s running retreads and half *** junkyard lifts. No one listens anyway.

It's not rocket science. Learn the hard way.

Lol, apparently you guys have not seen any of my builds or for some reason think I'm some sort of newb. This forum is here to have the support of a community, I have no issue tearing into it the hard way, I just wasn't sure if anyone had any insight before I ruined a perfectly good booster

I gave you insight. Infact its the best insight as you keep your booster and get the room your craving. Your brake rod will be under your feet instead of on the firewall.

Apparently, we haven't. Post some links.

I guess we wouldn't have surmised you would have any build threads when you post that you don't want to mess with brake lines and are searching for a way to disable a booster to free up room in an engine bay, without explaining why.

If you really want to get rid of the booster, remove it and find a way to mount the master cylinder right to the firewall. Fab up some linkage and do a build thread on here. You'll have to re-route brake lines no matter what.......

Lol, I have two of the most popular builds on here. One of which I linked to, to explain my reasoning. I was just going to move the master to the firewall, but I wanted to avoid complications being in the middle of the season and avoid running all new lines. I have a couple parts jeeps so I'll probably just hack up one of them first, and find out for myself, like I said, def not a impassable task I just personally haven't tore into a booster before, just removed or replaced, never nodded one
