Newbie Brake Question

Sorry if this has been addressed, searched the forum and didn't see anything. Need to replace brakes on my 15 4x4 CM. I am looking for a little more stopping power and was considering going with the PowerStop kit with drilled/slotted rotors. Thoughts, experiences?

Second, when compressing caliper piston I always used to use a C-clamp and go. I have see where some are recommending cracking the bleed screw, compressing the piston and then topping off the brake fluid. Which method is preferred on these trucks or does it even matter?

I have them on my truck definitely can tell a difference in braking when towing. Yes definetly crack the bleeder open when compressing the piston you dont want that old fluid going back up. I didn't crack my and the pedal was horrible ended up doing a complete flush a week after I put them on. Make sure to follow the break in procedure.

 

I used the PowerStop kit with drilled/slotted rotors on my 1999 Jeep Cherokee with a lift and bigger tires. I only installed it on the front as the rear is still drum brakes. I noticed an increase in stopping ability. It brought the brake pedal pressure that I had to apply back to the stock feel. I would buy it again.
