Upgrading Brake Booster??

Im trying to search this topic... I was told some time ago we can swap brake boosters out of a f150 or 250 in to the rangers. I cant find any info on this anywhere and what particular boost would fit in the ranger. Im trying to upgrade my braking power a bit, Iv got the bigger rotors out of a 2003+ ranger on my truck now, Ill be doing the disc conversion in the rear later when i do the explorer axle swap. But for now and since ill have the motor out ill upgrade the booster as well. I was told it has a bigger piston in it for better pressure since our ranger ones are sort of week? Any info on this topic would be great, thanks..

PS: if any of my sentences dont make sense, its because im hung over and cant think straight at the moment haha Thanks

Zabeard put a F-250 master cylinder in his truck I think. I don't think he put in the booster.
