KZJ78 Brake booster upgrade options

[kbushnz]

Hi All
My KZJ78's brake booster is on the way out...
Rather than just get it overhauled / re kitted I have read that an 80 series unit is a better / upgrade option.
Does anyone have any specific info?
Or other options....
I have searched the 70 series forum but info is rather scattered and mainly deals with the BJ series....

Also will removing the LSPV aid in decent braking???

Thanks in advance

This was just covered in another thread here...

I'll dig it up:

discussion on the second page.

As for the LSPV: removing it will not improve braking, but you can adjust it to compensate for lift. If you want more rear braking bias, lengthen the adjustment or add a spacer to make it "think" that the truck has a heavier load in it. Just be careful about too much rear bias and rear lock-up.

Thanks John.... I will have to keep an eye out for an 80 series booster and MC...
I have played with the LSPV and adjusted as required to suit my lift and load...but just wanted to confirm its absence was / wasn't the ultimate fix...

Merry Xmas !
