3RD GEN BRAKE UPGRADE

I'm in the market for new brakes. We tow a 9000+ LBS trailer basically daily.

What I'm trying to find out is-

Who has upgraded their brakes (pads and rotors, or full kit)

What brands do you reccomend and why

How long have you had your upgraded brakes

How do you use your truck? (Towing, hauling, off road, daily driver)
Thanks in advance guys and gals!

There's always the Toyota Big Brake Kit, but it requires 20" wheels to fit over them and runs in the thousands of dollars:

Otherwise, I'm sure others will chime in with their experiences on aftermarket rotors and pads.

 

Thank you sir.

 

If you are towing that much all the time, either get the bbk and/or try to upgrade the trailer brakes to hydraulic and get a better controller.
Upgraded pads and rotors may help a bit, but that's a lot of weight.

I bet @ColoradoTJ will chime in.
(And might suggest upgrading to a diesel truck)

 

I've had no issue with brake fade or anything of the such. Just thinking ahead.

 

when I was towing 18-20K with my Ram, I went to the EBC yellowstuff pads and was really surprised at the increased bite. I did go through rotors a bit, but as long as I went with Cryo'd ones, they'd last quite a bit longer than stockers.

I do concur with upgrading the trailer brakes, they should be doing a lot of the work for your truck.

 

I let my trailer anchor my braking a lot. I plan to go with a bigger brake set on the trailer (along with bigger rims and tires.) I just love by Safety first, so thinking ahead.
