    I'm thinking about doing a brake upgrade on my big girl. Was looking at the PowerBrake kit (which is quite spendy), but also looking into less expensive options. Truck's stock brakes seem to be doing OK, but I do a lot of mountain passes here in the western states and I think a brake upgrade is probably wise considering my weight. Plus, I can tell my braking distance isn't what it used to be w/o my camper.
    Any recommendations for upgrade? Would you go with the PowerBrake kit, or a less spendy option?
    Thanks!

    Choose a less spendy option, but the premise is that good quality and reputable.
