Does anyone have suggestions? At this point the brakes are the only thing I don't like on my truck. Are there disc brake conversions? How about front brake upgrades?

Thanks,

Bryan

 

if you really wanna spend some money on brakes, you might wanna check out http://www.baer.com they have some nice set ups

 

What you might try is increasing the braking co-efficiency. I use brake linings from carbotech engineering (internet site). Thier linings (street fighter/pads & #914/shoes) I use on several vehicles and am very pleased. They stop like or better than the old Velva Touch (brake linings used in NASCAR & INDY from 1960's through 1980's), produce less dust than OEM and are quiet. I estimate my pad wear at 60,000-80,000 miles and shoes at 75,000-100,000 based upon present wear patterns. Typically, they will increase your braking efficiency about 25% and eliminate most if not all your brake fade. Pedal firness also increases to an acceptable firm feeling with excellent pedal modulation. Cost for linings is about $120-140 per set.

If you want to save some money over the cost of a Baer kit, just find a wrecked Expedition. They have rear disks on both the 8.8 and 9.75 axles.
