Default Brakes

I am looking to get new brakes for both my front and rear. I am running with my stock 18" rims, and with all the weight that I have added, bumper, roof rack, I am looking to go with a heavy duty rotors and pads. Can anyone give any suggestions for both that will work with the stock calipers?

Thanks.

Check out the rebel off road big brake kit or even the teraflex one if you've got some serious money.

There's a guy on Eddie's forum (I don't see him on this one) doing a whole lot of really good research on big brakes.

Wilwood likely has the best kit out there but they're pricey... http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Bra...+Drive.&whl=18

I haven't looked for the jeeps but on my trucks I always used EBC and they are AWESOME. In my old dodge it went from good brakes to you going to get whiplash

EBC Makes a great pad for the JK. Hawk is another option as well. We run the EBC Yellow Stuff. PM us if you would like a quote.
