Probably looking at a complete brake change this summer when I do the lift and tires. I tow a large tent trailer and have had significant fading problems. What do you guys recommend for a set of performance brakes that won't warp after 20K km?

If you have seen fading, powerslots would probably help.

What's your tent trailer weigh and does it have electronic brakes? If so, do you have a brake controller? I know I wouldn't want to tow my travel trailer without it.

It's about 3000lbs empty and has a 4000lb GVW. It has a quad deck on the front and I'll probably put one on this coming summer. It does have electric brakes and off road tires, but like I said, it's heavy.

I'm not sure of the rotors but I've researched the pads and they are supposed to be primo. I've also found Checker, Napa, Autozone and PepBoys all carry these pads as their top of the line pads.
Here is their Website, I origianlly saw them on 2 Guys garage on the Speed Channel.

It all goes down to how much do you want to spend Just Empty Every Pocket :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
