Treypal's Raptor Build and Prep

[Raptizzle]

Glad to hear the trip was a success. Pics????

Brakes were awesome. Had one high speed run where I was show boating a little, and had to get on them really hard at a dog launcher, they did exactly what they were supposed to. Stopped.

Working on pics, got quite a few.

Extremely well. No chips. No flats. Run great Offroad.

So would this be the best brakes and rotors for our trucks???

I need new brakes and rotors so I need the best input and best place to order.
Thanks in advance.

I think the brakes worked very well. Much better stopping power vs. the stock setup. I'd like to upgrade the rear pads too. I can't say its the best setup, only because I haven't tested any others, I will say that I am very happy with them though.

EBC claims lots of dust, but I haven't noticed much.

Thanks Treypal for responding....I know this set up is up there in price and I really only do maybe 10% offroad driving.
So my main question is, is it over kill for me to go this route or should I just stick to the stock set up?

 

[treypal]

With the Generals I felt that the stock brakes weren't cutting it on the road. I was never nervous with stock tires and brakes, but the generals made me nervous. That was the main reason for upgrading. So if you have a heavier tire/wheel package, then I recommend it.
