Power Brakes
This is a cost-effective upgrade for your Bronco, offering significant benefits. Our fully bolt-on power brake kits make it relatively inexpensive to convert from manual to power brakes. The vacuum-boosted power brake system utilizes your engine vacuum to enhance braking power, reducing the pedal pressure needed to activate the brakes. This upgrade not only enhances driving comfort but also enables quicker and more controlled stops by making it easier to apply the brakes.

Disc Brakes
We highly recommend adding front disc brakes to your Bronco. While factory drum brakes generally work well when properly adjusted, the occasional instance where they don’t perform optimally underscores the importance of upgrading to disc brakes. Drum brakes may exhibit uneven stopping during a panic stop, causing the Bronco to pull to one side. This occurs when one side locks up before the other. Disc brakes eliminate this issue, providing consistent braking without any pulling.
Additionally, drum brakes can face challenges in wet or icy conditions, compromising consistent performance. Moisture inside the brake drum in such conditions can create a slick surface, hindering the brake shoes’ ability to catch. Disc brakes, on the other hand, prevent moisture pooling and ensure a constant ability to stop the Bronco, even in adverse weather conditions like ice, snow, or rain.
