Excellent advice!! I know of 2 separate trucks owned by buddy's of mine, one a disc conversion on the front and one a 4 wheel conversion. Stopping it doesn't make a noticeable difference. But then again it's not a sports car or a HD truck stopping under a HEAVY load!! And then again...... It is your truck do what makes you content.
