I feel that my brakes are not as strong as they should be. I have an '01 with stock LP30 up front, Ford 8.8 in the rear with brand new disc brakes. I run 35" MTRs.
The brakes don't really bother me on-road. BUT when offroading I get uncomfortable, on steep declines especially or if I have to back off a steep obstacle. Yesterday I was standing on the brake pedal with nearly everything I had dropping off a ledge on a steep decline and it nearly wasn't enough to keep me from rolling through. Pretty much scared me.
Most of the info I see discussed around the forum is for older model trucks. What should I look at/think about doing for my '01? Rear brakes are brand new, fronts are whatever were on it when I got it but have good pad left. They're bled well. I put this in Mod Tech since it's not a stock truck... running 35s, 8.8, etc. Any advice?
