Would like Bigger Brakes
I have searched this forum and cannot find to much information on bigger brakes particuallry for the front end of my 2003 F350 4x4 shortbox 6L PSD. I have 20 inch wheels so I should have lots of clearance for an aftermarket "big brake kit".
I have a 3,000 truck camper, tow a 3,000lb boat with no auxiliarly brakes with 35inch oversize power so I'm seeking this forums advise for bigger brakes.
I have been using powerslot brakes with hawk pads with much better performance over stock but I simply need more braking in our rugged BC rocky mountains.
Any suggestions on what brands, price range and etc are available for my truck and application.
Much appreciated.

Greatly appreciated.
Significant difference in price. TCE Price = 2x SSBC.
The SSBC appear to fit OEM rotors with be stronger clamping force from 8 piston calipers.
The TCE with larger Wilwood 16" rotors and 6 piston calipers that I am not sure if it will fit my 20" wheels but I did e-mail Todd to confirm.
Any advice on how each of these kits perform over stock and what would I be happy with in my application or what would give me best value?
Again greatly apreciated.
