Yes, assuming your original pedal height has not changed.

I just found a brake fluid leak coming from in between the brake booster and the master cylinder. Toyota shows a gasket for in between the two, is it just that easy to remove the master cylinder and replace the gasket? Or is it a bigger problem with either the master or the booster? @tls3601 and @Racer65 said they didn't have a gasket. Is it just a difference between the years the trucks were built? Below is a link to the diagram.
