Anyone add some woah with their go?
Just wondering who has upgraded the brakes on their trucks? For those that have, would you recommend the brand you went with to others?
I have recently upgraded to 22's, and while the difference from my 20's was barely noticeable, I know there was a huge difference from when I moved from the stock 16's to the 20's. In the interest of upcoming performance mods, I want to make sure she stops as good as she launches.
So what are your recommendations? Keep in mind I will no longer be running a wheel smaller than 20", so larger diameter rotors are not out of the question.

I recently upgraded my entire brake system. It stops hella well now.
I would recommend this brake kit and hydroboost upgrade to anyone.

Right now I have Praise Dyno pads and slotted rotors in all 4 corners, and Russel SS brake hoses, done at separate times with a slight improvement over stock each time. If I had the bucks, and was running 20's all year round, I'd upgrade to SSBC front and rear 14" rotors and calipers.

I have upgraded to Baer brakes. I started out with there Alumasport line and was not happy with them. I then upgraded my fronts to the 6piston extreme setup. They are really nice and work really well, but i do not like Baer as a company. There people have poor communication skills and the worst customer service i have ever seen. I have dealt with more than one person there as well so its not just one person. They also have sent me the wrong parts on more than one occasion. After doing a ton of leg work, i was able to work out a deal with one of the "higher ups" there to give me a partial sponsorship which is how i was able to afford the 6 piston setup. Now i wish i would have just went with Willwood and paid full price. The 6 piston setup is great, but the service from them sucks.
