Exclamation better brakes

I have a 04 fx4 supercab that i recently put on 37's. I went home on r&r and tried to tow my 94 f-150 to the mud hole and was surprised at how much the tires changed my braking performance. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

You probably doubled the weight or each tire, so that affects acceleration, braking, and handling.

Some good ceramic pads and better rotors to handle the extra heat is the cheap upgrade. Big brake kits with larger rotors, upgraded calipers would be required for my level of brakign poerformance with 37" tires.

Yeah i think your right i was thinking of a kit with a larger rotor but it keeps the stock caliper. Do you know anything about those?
