TeraFlex® 4303510 - Plain Front Big Brake Kit

Hanging a set of huge tires can buy you a lot of ground clearance and a lot of grip, that's certain. But did you ever think of the affect it might have on your brakes? You've changed out the stock differentials to reflect the extra diameter of those big tires, because the extra diameter sucked up most of the torque available. Think about it: the extra leverage from the big rubber has the same effect on your brakes. One mod that goes hand-in-hand with big tires is big brakes. TeraFlex's Big Brake Kit, whether you choose the straight, vented rotors or the slotted ones, gives you not only a larger-diameter, heavier disc that can dissipate more energy, but a bigger caliper with bigger pads for more braking actions. With two massive pistons squeezing the disc instead of one, you'll be able to stop shorter, feather the brakes coming down a hill more accurately, and have better pedal feel. The slotted rotors will provide better braking action when wet, because the slots wipe the water off the surface of the disc.

Adding a second pair of discs to the rear will only improve your braking even further. Be aware that upgrading your brakes often requires upgrading the master cylinder and proportioning valve as well. The larger pistons, and more of them, require a master cylinder that moves more fluid, or it will feel spongy and travel too close to the floor.
