There is a lot of room under these trucks and even more so if you can let stuff hang down a little, but I think you can only do that as long as you don't have to worry about deep snow or off road mud pits tearing stuff out from under your truck.
The hydroboost system installs in place of the vac booster, provides about half again the braking power of the stock vacuum booster, and only requires one new hose from the PS pump that's already running all the time, even when you're not steering.
