Brake Upgrade?

Anyone have any experience with a a brake upgrade for an 05 F250? I would like to do a rotor change if possible. I know for my Mustang there are kits that relocate the factory caliper to make it more effective, on a new rotor. I haven't had much luck finding something similar for my truck though. The one I did find said it wouldn't fit with factory wheels. Any ideas, please??

Some people replace the rotors with slotted rotors(powerslot is the brand), and alot use Hawk pads. Check the vendors. I see DFuser has them both......

I am a big fan of ARP rotors! I tried my best to ruin a set in a 7.3 near Ouray, Colorado quite a while back. I flew by a lot of people and had to do a LOT of braking (new to mountain driving). Drove into town smelling up the place, but no warpage. Then my son drove about 50 miles in stop and go traffic w/ one set of pads gone - metal-against-metal! They scratched bad, got real hot, but again, no warpage.
