OK, all this information is probably in there somewhere but... what size tires are you running? if you are running like 37s or something maybe it's as good as it's gonna get with "factory style" calipers and rotors. I only have 33s on mine and I don't think I would be able to lock up the front tires. Does it stop pretty quickly? Think about the fact that when guys do resto rods or brake upgrades on mustangs, camaros, etc... they usually put like Brembo dual or triple piston calipers and gigantic diameter rotors and they aren't running anywhere near the rotating tire and wheel diameter and mass that you probably are. Also, the Bronco weight itself is pretty heavy for normal calipers.

Are you comparing the braking performance of yours to another EB with similar setup?

Also, are you using a MC with a residual check valve for the rear?

Not trying to be funny or disrespectful here..do you have the front/rear plumbed to the correct port on the MC?
