As far as i know you can get like drilled/slotted rotors and better pads.The wheels are why you tripled the rotating mass making it harder for it to stop.

All fixed SSBC had a caliper upgrade for it. It was a little pricey. But I think this will fix the problem .... I new it was because of the tires guys Thanx!!!!!!

What did you end up doing for brakes?
I have been thinking of doing some on my Chevy Dually.

Jason I purchased a upgrade kit from SSBC . Bigger calipers, drilled rotors same size as whats on there but just drilled... I did'nt have a problem with the rears just upgraded the pads with a bus application front and back. I also used my TECH-2 to pulse the brakes also was a big help .. I took some pics as soon as my camaera gets back from repair I'll send them to ya...
