Best aftermarket brake booster consensus?

i'm a proud papa, no lie. She enlisted her mom's help (lives a mile down the street) to come and help tear the top end down for a HG project on her 3rd gen Runner last year. Oh yeah, she built the bumpers on her rig at my house two years ago with some supervision of course!

That is awesome! Kudos!

USPS was 3 days late on Priority Mail but I finally got the booster in from Cruiser Teq and got it installed today. My ABS has already been deleted and even with the additional room to work and taking off the clevis going to the pedal first I was barely able to get this replaced without jacking around with the motor. I had to dent in my old booster where it hits the intake runner and cut about 1/4" off the bottom right stud to get the new one back in without a dent. That shortened thread still passes all the way through the nut on the inside so I didn't lose any strength. The cushion for the brake light switch plunger disintegrated while I was down there so I've got these on order since Amazon can deliver tomorrow.

As for the booster itself the Jury is out on that. From my Quick drive around the neighborhood my brakes don't seem as powerful as they used to be.

Also to note I pulled the check valve out of my old booster and it is working fine. I am keeping it for a spare.

I did drive the truck around more yesterday and the brakes feel fine. As long as this booster lasts I’ll be happy with the aftermarket one from Cruiser Teq. Also the brake switch cushions from Amazon fit well. $5 for 12 of them is hard to beat.
