Big Brakes for 3rd Gen Trucks??
I can't seem to find a big brake kit for my truck; nothing from Wilwood, nothing from SSBC. I haul a heavy camper on my '05 3500 SRW and I'm in need of more braking power.
The other day, while driving 65 on the highway, there was an accident 100 yards or so in ahead of me and traffic came to an abrupt stop. It was all I could do to drag the truck to a halt safely... very frightening actually, and I was paying attention and had left plenty of space between me and the car in front of me. I've already got a PacBrake PRXB exhaust brake and have no issues with overheating or fade on long grades.
I'm running 18" wheels so I have a tiny bit of room for larger rotors & calipers. Does anybody make a complete big brake kit for my 3rd gen?
Thanks,
-Mark

You already have brakes that many of us can only wish we had.
This is rotor I have bookmarked for its large diameter and 8x6.5" pattern. It appears on some 3500HD and P30HD trucks and is used with 19.5" wheels.
