I have the same setup as Animal as well. Of course the braking distance increased because it takes much more to stop those larger tires. I haven't upgraded rotors, but I may in the future.

Josiah should read this. Could this be why those guys are having problems with the grinding noise or vibration?

yeah thats why.
fabtech says with their kit "if you experience vibration and/or grinding during 4HI then order part number w/e"

IE everyone gets this vibration/grinding haha

i dont know the price on it though....so...yeah

Where did you get that brake setup from? Sounds like a good price

It's all fixed duke, but thanks. And I nearly wrecked today due to stupidity but also the brakes, long story short I was spraying my windshield with the soapwater that sprays from the hood, I wasn't paying attention and my buddy in front braked for a red light, gf screamed and I slammed on my brakes, my tires screeched the entire time and I was able to pull to the side of him, close call that had me sweating. If I wasn't on 37's I would have been able to stop without a doubt, braking wasn't bad at all stock, was quite nice. If you have a lot of closecalls it might be worth the brake upgrade, but I'm pretty used to the deteriorated brakes.
