OBS Solutions Hydro Boost Kit - 1987-1997 Ford F-Series & Bronco

OBS Solutions Hydroboost Brake Upgrade Kit (1987–1997 Ford F-Series)

⚠️ Please read the entire product description and instructions before ordering.

Looking for a serious brake upgrade for your 1989–1997 OBS Ford truck? The OBS Solutions Hydroboost Kit is the ultimate bolt-on upgrade that ditches your vacuum-assisted braking system and replaces it with powerful hydroboost technology—delivering unmatched stopping power, especially when towing or running larger tires.

💡 What is Hydroboost?

Hydroboost uses hydraulic pressure from your power steering system instead of engine vacuum to assist your brakes. This translates to:

• Stronger braking force

• Less pedal effort

• More consistent performance under load

Perfect for daily driving, towing, off-roading, or anyone tired of soft pedal feel and inconsistent vacuum boosters.

✅ Key Features:

• Direct bolt-on system using your factory brake pedal, firewall, and master cylinder

• Eliminates the need to chase down old or obsolete F-SuperDuty hydroboost components

• Compatible with stock or Super Duty axles

• Perfect solution for trucks with poor vacuum or underwhelming braking performance

🔧 What’s Included in Each Kit:

• (2) Pressure lines and (1) return line with clamps (unless you're using an engine swap – see options below)

• Fittings to connect to your OEM or Super Duty-style power steering pump and steering box

• Brass Y-fitting for return line merging (unless you choose the Super Duty pump upgrade)

🛠️ Upgrade Options:

Super Duty Power Steering Pump Upgrade
Swap in a later model Super Duty power steering pump with built-in dual return ports. This eliminates the need for a Y-fitting and increases fluid capacity for smoother operation.

Electric Vacuum Pump Kit for 7.3L Diesel Engines
Still running a 7.3L IDI with a bulky vacuum booster? This electric vacuum pump upgrade frees up horsepower and cleans up your engine bay.

Kit Includes:

• Electric vacuum pump

• Custom mounting bracket

• New belt tensioner

• Correct-length serpentine belt
  (See installation instructions linked at the top of the page.)

🔄 Application Notes:

• Fits all 1987–1997 Ford F-Series trucks (F-150, F-250, F-350) 

• For Super Duty axle swaps with rear disc brakes, we recommend using a 2005 6.0L master cylinder

• Retains stock master cylinder in most other applications

• Works with both gas and diesel engines

⚠️ Important Reminders:

• Please notify us if your steering box uses a 4-bolt cap, as you’ll need a different fitting setup. (This is common in late 1997 models.)

• This kit does not fix existing brake issues—it enhances your system’s performance assuming everything else is in good condition

• Installation instructions are linked at the top of this listing

• FOR OFF-ROAD USE ONLY

Upgrade your OBS truck’s brake system with confidence. With the OBS Solutions Hydroboost Kit, you’ll feel the difference in every stop—whether you're on the job, hauling a trailer, or navigating trails.
