Glad you were able to still do your trip! And that you didn’t rear end the minivan.
Just after upgrading our 98 E250 to the bigger 2012 front brake/suspension setup we were on the Pennsylvania Turnpike heading out for our cross-country trip at oh-dark-hundred. We were going 65mph when suddenly a deer leapt in front of us. Panic stop ensued, and the better brakes paid for themselves in that one instance.
