You will not need to upgrade the brakes. Even with big tires under a heavy rig they work very well.

the term "pissing in the wind" comes to mind.
search, i wanted to swap out to ford dual pistons and all the math and stuff works out that chevy/dodge is fine to 44"s

Just upgrade the pads for a better bite. I've had good luck with EBC yellow pads.

I have considered going to hydroboost, but haven't just cause stock 60 and 14 bolt brakes are fucking pretty damn brutal as they are.
My truck slows down much faster than my stock 05 Colorado does.

that is taxing it pretty hard but you can.
there are some small hydro pumps around here that people are using with much success.
search in here and the tech / product reveiw section.

Save your money and upgrade to a larger master/booster or hydroboost.The gain you will get from the drilled rotors will be immeasurable and several times the cost.

I run a stock un modded K5 PS pump and it runs my hydro assist and hydroboost just fine :D
