What are some economy front Big Brake Upgrade options?

[FishFreak]

Yeah most BBKs except Wilwood and Alcon require 18-20” wheels with the Brembo 8 pot requiring 22s.

But id highly recommend the wilwoods over a standard rotor/pad swap.

I will go that way, Wilwoods, if I find I lack braking power towing down those long steep-assed grades that fried my other 1/2 ton truck brakes. Meanwhile, I've got a fishing and skiing habit to support !!

I know this is an economy brake upgrade thread, however, everyone has a different idea of 'economy', so I'm including this one for discussion. I found this 14" Baer big brake kit that is said to fit under 17" wheels. Other bbk's need bigger wheels so this is a good option for those with thicker wallets and small wheels. Oem gen 1 rotors are 13.78", so these are approx 1/4" bigger, however, the rotors are two piece with an aluminum hat, so they'll lower unsprung mass for those weight-watchers !
