Well, heres my question of the day which in the eyes of most dealers seems to me the million dollar question that cant be answered! I just recently installed 20" mb motoring wheels with 33" nitto mud grapplers on my 05 reg cab 4X4. I was originally told i dont need bigger brakes. Then I was. Then I wasnt..then I was again...catch my drift? I was told that i should be fine with the stock brakes up to 22", but sometimes it feels hard to stop the truck, I mean don't get me wrong, I can stop, its just tough sometimes. I really have to push hard. Can I just get the brakes tightened and adjusted, or should I go with bigger brakes? I will only have the wheels on in the good weather. Thanks

 

Brakes are always a good upgrade, but not a necessity. It just depends on how you feel.

 

Yeah, thats what I figured. Im guessing its harder to stop because they are heavier, but does that mean that my brakes are wearing more? Will better pads help? Thanks wandell

 

Yes, on both questions.

 

Cool...Thanks a lot. Do you reccomend any pads? Did you upgrade the brakes for your wheels?

 

I replaced my OEM brake pads on my Screw with ceramic Bendix pads when they wore out.

 

Did the truck feel better when you replaced the pads?

 

I didn't really notice much of an increase in braking power, but there sure is less brake dust!
