need more braking

I was wondering on my 95 F150 I have done a solid axle swap so I have the 78-79 front brakes on it. I bought a travel trailer with trailer brakes adn everything is fine as braking goes. I would like thought to upgrade anyway if possible, even before the trailer I was wanting to because of the big tires. Any suggestion for getting better braking.

The 78-79 brake calipers are the same as the late 70's ford full size cars except that the piston is bigger on the cars this is a common 78-79 Bronco upgrade.
Search the net for 78-79 Bronco brake upgrade and you will find a ton of info.
