Ok why dos my braking suck so bad

Is it because of the 35s and no sway bars. I got stock brakes and new shoes but when i gota slam on the brakes at lower speeds one wheel will skid kind of easy. I thought it was because of my bald tires but now i got new KM2s. So whats goin one, do i need to beef up my rotors or what ?

Front or rear slides if front then check to make sure the other side is working at all. If it is then pull the rear drums and see if you have brake fluid or rear end oil leaking. And yes 35's and stock brakes are pretty much going to suck.

Your brakes are probably worn. Time for a full brake job
