Brake Upgrade 2012 F250
I want to upgrade my brakes for better stopping power and better feel. Any thoughts as to what's the best route? I'm willing to change whatever I need to not just the pads. Thanks

I have no idea what hydro boosting is so I've never done anything with that
Diesel has no venturi in it's intake system to create the vacuum for
the half ton or lower's vacuum boosted brake system
A hydroboost system is used where the assist is from a high pressure
fluid. Like the power steering pump system
Hydroboost develops higher pressures than vacuum boosters do. They can
make a vacuum booster with equal or even higher, but then the dia of
the diaphragm would be large and/or many diaphragms in series would be
needed
I believe 2012 F250 6.7 should NOT have hydroboost.. Ford went back to some sort of vacuum booster, perhaps they have some sort of vacuum pump which can supply enough vacuum.. I know they used to use a electric vacuum pump with a diesel for other accessories which needed vacuum.
F350 with 6.7 may still have it though..
Gassers do not have it.
Some info on it HERE
