Default Brake Upgrades

I spend a lot of time hauling a trailer and am looking for a little more braking power. What do yall recommend doing as far as upgrading the brakes for $900 or less. I've seen some big brake kits around $1500+ and was wondering if there were any less expensive routes to take.

A friend of mine installed this and said it makes a big difference when pulling his Adventure Trailer.

The other two (major) options are the do-it-yourself BR6 upgrade and the newly released Mopar kit. The Dynatrac kit looks to be the most complete.

Is this the same. The teraflex site seems to be broken!
