well im not to sure about converting your system over to hydroboost. can be very involved as well as costly to perform as you are pretty much replacing the heart of your system. im sure you lost some of your braking "performance" with the taller sneakers on your truck. have you thought about or looked into some simpler upgrades such as pads or bigger performance style rotors?? possibly even a caliper change with more pistons than a stock set? some of these easier upgrades would make a big difference in how your truck stops as well as possibly being more cost effective.

Stainless steel brake co makes a kit and I belive brembo and baer do too. The minimum wheel is a 18 but since you have double duces you will be ok. Or you could go w/ some slotted rotors and some EBC brake pads if you don't want to spend the $$ for a big brake kit.I would spend the money for the big brake kit those monster 22's are big wheels/tires and your stock braking system is having trouble keeping up. Its the rotational mass of the wheels/tires that taxes the brakes. Stock brakes were not designed to handle large tires/wheels.
