I've got the original Dynatrack 4wd front axle and origin brake calipers. Are there larger calipers that are a direct replacement that I should be looking at?

In researching to convert from vacuum boost to Hydroboost I had read (on another forum) someone installed the electric super duty pump (which has a positive and negative wire) and they spliced into a 12v wire that has power when the ignition key is "on" (just ground the second wire)...and it worked fine.
As far as upgrading brakes, many thread on this but you may give Chris at U-Joint Offroad a call to see if your axle accepts his SSC brake upgrade (as Russ - Doublevan2 - mentioned previously). I really wanted that upgrade, but it will not work on my axle, so went another route.
