    Wilwood discs on the new axle.

    I haven't had drum brakes on my truck for years. Swapping out on the stock axle was the biggest mistake I've made in my entire build but that's history at this point.

    I'm running a Wilwood manual master cylinder with no brake booster. Straight pedal to the MC to the wheels on my truck.

    Stock brakes up front. Leave the rear brakes alone unless you're ready for a world of headaches. The stock MC can't push enough fluid to properly engage rear discs.

    Drum brakes = less fluid, more pressure.
    Disc brakes = more fluid, less pressure.

    It's easy to step down pressure but not possible to increase volume. It's a can of worms.

    would not a larger master cylinder and new front brake lines work?
