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

- I agree with Turtle. I'm pretty sure you are traction limited. I know I am and I have 50% more tire. Are you running oversized tires?
- Maybe look at upgrading the brakes on your 5th wheel? Get some hydraulic disk brakes for it.. :) My Dad did that on his 5th wheel and it's only a #12,000 GVWR and he said it made a huge difference. He tows with a 05 Ram Dually and had an exhaust brake added as well..
Good luck!
Mitch - 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?
