This is what I'm going to be using when I get around to doing it.

1986 FORD E-350 ECONOLINE Engine: V8 5.8 Liter

And this is a direct bolt-on to the YJ's Booster?  Just take the old one out, put the new one in and bleed the brakes?
'94 YJ 2.5L with 4" RE lift, Superwinch EPi9.0, FoMoCo e-Fan, SD30 and SD35 w/ARB-5.13, 165A alt., 33" BFG KM2 on 15" AR wheels, Sony sound system, Pavement Ends Hardtop, Hydroboost

Direct?  No.  You'll need to ream/drill the mounts out.

Ah, OK.  Got it.  I'll try the Hawk brake pads, and if that does not do it, I'll go for the TJ booster and E350 master...  Man, this problem is starting to get expensive!

I had a chance to get a complete TJ setup for $30.  Doing the brake master and booster can be cheap.
