Should I upgrade my Full-Size Bronco from drum to disc brakes?

Yes, upgrading to disc brakes is one of the most impactful safety improvements you can make to a classic Bronco. Disc brakes provide dramatically better stopping power, improved pedal feel, and reduced brake fade — especially with larger tires. Browse our Early Bronco disc brake conversion kits .

What's the difference between vacuum and hydroboost power brake systems?

A vacuum booster uses engine intake vacuum to amplify brake force. A hydroboost system uses hydraulic pressure from your power steering pump instead. Hydroboost is recommended for engines with low vacuum (modified cams, diesel swaps) or for builds running 35"+ tires where maximum stopping power is needed.

Do I need a proportioning valve when converting to disc brakes?

Yes. A proportioning valve is critical when upgrading to disc brakes. It balances the pressure between front and rear brakes to prevent rear lockup. Our disc brake kits include the appropriate proportioning valve for the brake configuration they're designed for.

Can I install Early Bronco disc brakes myself?

Most mechanically inclined owners can install our disc brake kits at home. Our Early Bronco disc brake kits come with detailed instructions and all required hardware. We recommend doing this alongside a wheel bearing repack and brake hose replacement for a complete job.
