Default Front brake arm

I discovered today that AA front brake arms are 3/8" longer than A arms, I
wonder what they would do to A braking. The A arm is A-2084-C and
the AA arm is AA-2084.

Better leverage, but longer stroke required.

Also, it would cause the fronts to engage at a "later time" when compared to the rear brake engagement.

When I saw the longer AA arms I thought of this thread https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showth...ront+brake+arm.
