Brake Problems

I have an 86 f150 7 inchs of lift and riding on 35's. The brakes work great and the truck stops good. The problem i am having is too much heat in the front rotors. The rotors warp in no time. I was wondering if it would help to remove the dust/rock shield to get more air to the rotors. Any other suggestions?

I don't think that will help much at all.

Assuming your calipers aren't hanging up and your pushrod adjustment is correct, then your last option is to buy higher end rotors. The cheap stuff just doesn't cut it when you're putting the strain on a brake system that you are with 35's.
