am wondering if the bias valve will need some sort of adjustment?
if the total surface area of the pistons the same as the stock then maybe not? but if larger then you'll probably get the back locking up way before the front. Wilbo can tell you how much fun (seat puckering) that is.

oh yes, rear brake lock up is fantastic  lol
I managed to find a car that had the same front calipers as me and similar sized? drum rear (SA63 celica) which seems to work well for me.....I'm not sure if you'll have any luck with the same plan of attack tho (due to the large size of the rear drums on the hilux's?)....
In that case a Willwood or similar proportion valve may be needed to avoid having the brakes feel like a pedal operated handbrake! Not fun at all, trust me.... (btw most stock systems do have a proportion valve, but unless you want to adjust it via changing the springs in it, best to get an adjustable aftermarket one that you can plum in!)
Cheers
