Yeah, its sticking out there like a wedding d!ck. If I substituted the hydroboost for a dual diaphragm vacuum booster (which I had planned on using), it would actually be nearly 2" longer. Hydroboost conversions are done all the time on Jeeps, and I've never seen any support added to them.
For parking lots maybe.....but I'd be concerned with flex at the firewall sheet metal with any serious of-road running.....that babies gonna ride stiff

The firewall is made of 18 ga. steel, and the upper right quadrant of it is reinforced with a 16 ga. panel. In addition, the 4 bolts that retain the hydroboost adapter bolt through a large, heavy gauge steel support bracket behind the firewall, which ties into the upper part of the tub, which is the strongest part of the tub.
