'08 F350 Brake upgrade

Currently drive a genII Tundra. Rotors are 13.8" and only need to stop an unladen weight of 5500lbs (7,000lbs loaded). Noticed rotors on '08 F350 SRW are 13.66" front and 13.39" rear. On F450, rotors are 14.53" and 15.35" rear.

Is it possible to get the dealer to fit the bigger OEM rotors to the '08 F350 FX4, PSD, CC, SB, SRW that I have my eye on. Truck has the 20" wheels so clearance shouldn't be an issue. With a loaded wight of more than 11,000lbs I'd rather have ultimate stopping power and I don't like to go aftermarket.

Has anyone done this? Are the calipers the same? Cost?

Thanks in advance.

if im not mistaken, the 450/550 is a 10 lug hub were as the 350 is an 8. I would think ud need the 450/550 hub to mount the caliper bracket and caliper to ur 350 and i doubt the hub rotor combo would just bolt up to the 350 axle. But idk, some one might prove me wrong

Thanks. I'll investigate further, though dealers often know less than truck owners. How do you find the stockers?
