Brake Upgrade.

[michaeljr5]

I found out yesterday that my brakes may need upgrading. As we all know the Monty weighs in as a real heffer now and she is only gonna get heavier. While we were traversing a hill out on Banner yesterday my brake made a very loud... oh... I'm not sure how to describe the sound...

It was a loud rubbing sound. They weren't squealing. They were just loud. I'm wondering if the weight of the truck is too much for the factory brakes. What should I do and what are a good brand of brake rotors, calipers and pads to use? I have all wheel discs so this job will be easy to perform.

Get the top of the line pads and rotors from NAPA.
Other than that, I really don't know. Do you know what diameter rotors you have now? Bigger is usually better.

you can usually swap in stronger calipers or a bigger master cylinder with more volume. Toyota truck calipers are the best I have seen, 4 pistons per caliper for the discs.
