Re:Braking Power
You can always run around with a Powerjoke or Duracrack in the bed and just kick it out as an anchor whenever you want to stop <br><br>Without going to rear disks or bigger front disks the best you can do is use bigger rear wheel cylinders. You should already have the 15/16" in your 1-ton but I think you can run 1" ones from an older Dodge truck. I checked into this recently for adding larger ones to my brother's 77 W200 and found that the cylinders cross all the way up till 2003 in the regular sizes - you can even get 1-1/4" for older Dodges that should bolt in ours, but they are really designed for the larger industrial chassis like my 74 Winnebago that have bigger, wider brakes.<br><br>Check around for rear disk conversions to go to the newer Dodge setups.<br>
