86 was the year they went to the 250. The early 250's were leftover 248's with the 2 1/4 births in them. Late 86 came out with the stand-up enclosed head and added a livelwell to the the starboard side. You normally put brakes on the front axle because the front of the springs on the front axle are normally anchored solid to the frame. When you have an equalizer, it would be pulling on it before the frame and would give a springing under braking. And on torsion axles, the weight will transfer onto the front axle under braking due to the weight pushing down on the tongue. So logically youy want them on the front axle if any axle.
