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 truck has 20s and aftermarket tires. No lift
That extra weight of any over sized dia has more centrifugal force, which
then requires more braking force to slow/stop them
More so if they are forged, they generally are heavier than cast alloys. Even more so with low aspect ratio E class tires. More so
if they are very wide. Both more aluminum out there and the tread of
a low aspect ratio with a wide section width.
All that extra weight has much, much more fly wheel than a smaller
dia and narrower wheel/tire
Good not lifted, as some after market kits have El Cheapo brake hoses
to reach farther than OEM hoses
Ah...missed that you have a diesel...with hydroboost braking.
When was the last time you flushed the power steering pump system?
On GM's, the hydrobooster runs off of power steering fluid system
My 1996 K3500 Sub's hydrobooster started to get 'soft' and changed
it out around 1999/2000. Have your hydrobooster & pump checked out
