If you changed the front axle would you have to change the rear axle to a matching "type"( manufacturer) of axle or could you just change the rear pumkin to match the gearing of the front?

How much "improvement" would adding a brake booster add to the braking of these beasts ?
If you change the front make sure it has the same gear ratio as the back. When I did mine i added a power brake booster also, you would not believe the difference it makes. Its like day and night!!
