Brake Upgrade 2012 F250
I want to upgrade my brakes for better stopping power and better feel. Any thoughts as to what's the best route? I'm willing to change whatever I need to not just the pads. Thanks

My first question is why?
IOW's here's the problem. The tires are the weakest link. Even with ABS the tires are the weakest link if you want to stop quicker.
Now duty cycle is a different subject. If you can put 10' brakes on your truck you can ride them for days and never get them hot. But again, why would you want that?
So, why do you want different brakes than OEM?
I'm with the OP on this one. I've read many times on this forum how some people think the F250 isn't big enough to tow many 5th wheels. The weight police are constantly harping on this. But if you look at the F350, the only difference is number of springs (fixed with air bags), tire size (fixed with higher rated tires), and the brakes. If I could find brakes that I can ride for days, then I wouldn't be so worried about steep grades and crossing the mountains. So, what brakes should we get?
