I agree on the cautiousness. The hydroboost is power fed from the PS pump so that is something to be mindful of.

On a side note, I was thinking earlier and Im sure now that the reason my lines were short earlier was because of my 3" body lift.

In your parts list at the end of the OP, you mentioned 2 qts of ATF4...do you use that in place of power steering fluid? Cuz you don't mention where the ATF goes, and I understand that with more tubing for he hydroboost, that it will need more PS fluid.

Anti lock brakes work fine. When you disconnect the power steering pump lines from the rack you will lose fluid. The new ATF is to replace that. DOT 3 or 4 does go in the master cylinder

Did you have to change out the OEM calipers or are the OEM calipers ok with the pressure built with the upgraded Hydro-Boost?
