Question Front brake upgrades

I'm looking a replacing the front brakes on my 99.5. I'm running an 8" lift & 37" tires and really need the extra stopping power. I don't do much heavy towing. Right now, it's down to between the:

Cryo Powerslots w/ Hawk LTS pads ~$375.00 +ship
Reg Powerslots w/ Hawk LTS pads ~$310.00 +ship
Cryo ART rotors w/ Performance Friction pads ~400.00 + ship

Would it be worth it for me to spring for the Cryo rotors, or would I be fine with the standards? Also, are there any major differences between the Powerslots and the ART's? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

-Wayne

from what i understand the cryo powerslots w/ hawk pads are a great upgrade and will limit the chance of rotor warpage, same with ART's

Would it be worth the extra expense for the Cryos, being that I don't tow very often?

Cryos are much stronger and would be a great upgrade for your truck with the extra lift and bigger tires. Much better stopping power IMHO.
