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

The Super Duty went to larger brakes in 2013 maybe the parts are interchangeable?
Correct.
However do be careful of what you wish for.. Ford did indeed "upgrade" the brakes on the 2013 F250/350.. This was in response to complaints from 2011/2012 owners concerning weak brakes, not feeling strong or rather sluggish..
However driving empty my 2013 brakes are often over the top way to sensitive or "strong" and if you are not careful it is easy to plant your face in the windshield.. Takes a very light foot on the brakes when empty and changing vehicles back and forth can be a bit of a challenge..
Not sure what the changes really are, it could be MC, wheel cylinders, brake pads or rotors.. But something is different from what I have read..
Loaded, they work perfectly fine and respond correctly :h
I don't understand why yours would feel like that, the brakes on mine are probably some of the best that I have used either loaded or empty ,but then I drive a 3500 everyday , is it possible that your trailer brakes need adjusting so you don't have to brake so hard with the truck,??
