Upgrade Brake Kit Help

I’m new to the trucking world and would like some solid advice on an issue. I have a 16 CM Tundra that I installed a 35 x 12.5 tires on a 20 inch rim and I took it in for the30,000 mile service. Advisor told me that brakes pad need replacing, rotors need turning, and lines need to be flushed.

My question is what do you knowledgeable guys recommend on a brake upgrade kits without calipers if stock is sufficient ? I do not tow anything heavy and my truck is manly used as a people hauler.

I believe I went through the pads fast due to the added weight of the tires and would like to prevent this costly service in the future. I’m looking for the best bang for the buck and nothing exotic or over needed. If I do tow it would be just a single touring motorcycle but that’s not often. Thanks in advance!

 

I just ordered Stoptech Sport slotted rotors for all four (cryo treated for the front) and Posi Quiet ceramic pads. These were recommended by a few members that have them. Send a PM to @eccracer104 and he will get you hooked up with a discount. I did not find anyone that could beat his price.

 

Agree, you increased the unsprung weight (rotating mass) and the stock brakes aren’t designed for that much weight. Bigger brakes are really the answer but as we all know, brake upgrades are silly expensive. Tundra234 has a good recommendation.

I’m stock wheels at 74K miles and will be changing the OE brakes on Monday To StopTechs. I bought the StopTech kit (front and rear) a few years ago in anticipation I’d need them at 50K miles. Nope. They’ve been sitting on the shelf in the box.

Actually, I’ve never had a set of OE brakes last this long on anything. I tow my boat and use the truck normally.

If I could unload my StopTechs, I would go with OE as they kicked ass.
