Brake upgrades

[Rob]

i was wondering if anyone has upgraded their brakes, i run larger tires than stock and my braking has changed, i really dont like how they stop now so i was thinking about doing an upgrade. Are the powerslot rotors good? will they make an improvement or do i need to do i big brake upgrade? all i need to do for now is the front set and i just wanted a little bit of input from you guys. thanks.

Do a whole front brake kit. Bigger Power slot rotors, quad piston calipers, that will improve the braking of your truck. I think just swapping out the old regular rotors for the powerslot ones will not show you a big improvement.

Just a little info, but I put the kevlar pads on the wifes Jeep, and they were a 100% better for stoping than the regular ones, you might find that solves the problem for you.
