Benefits of an Upgraded Brake Kit for Your Truck

Your truck’s brakes are one of its most essential systems, preventing accidents and injury to yourself, your passengers, and other drivers on the road. As a result, it’s vital to ensure they’re in proper working order at all times. Beyond that, your brakes should match your vehicle’s performance and aftermarket modifications. For example, you should always upgrade your brakes with the addition of a programmer and other powertrain upgrades to ensure ample stopping power for the added momentum. 

Upgraded brakes are also recommended after installing a lift kit and oversized tires, ensuring the factory brakes aren't overwhelmed by the added rotational mass. Even on a stock application that regularly tows or hauls heavy loads, upgraded brakes help to reduce stopping distances to prevent front-end collisions.

How to Choose a Brake Kit for Your Truck

There are several variables to consider when selecting a new brake kit for your truck, including your desired level of performance, compatibility with your make and model, driving habits, and budget.

For budget-oriented consumers that don’t regularly tow or haul heavy, we’d recommend a kit containing performance pads and rotors, like an EBC Stage 5 GD Yellowstuff Brake Kit. However, for those with a higher budget that regularly use and abuse their pickup, we’d recommend a performance-oriented full replacement kit like the Power Stop Z36 Truck and Tow Brake Kit. Both kits offer a simple, direct bolt-on installation.
