Default Upgrading Break Questions

I'm thinking about replacing and upgrading my breaks on my JK and looking for some suggestions.

Last summer I put on a 2.5" lift and 35" tires. The tires are Falken Rocky Mountain and are pretty heavy, so I'm looking for some extra stopping power. Plus my current brakes are shot.

What should I be looking for?

Thanks in advance

Maybe get some EBC cross drilled and slotted rotors with EBC yellow stuff brake pads. That's the route im going to go when I need new brakes and rotors.

Whats your budget?
If you're going big i'd do the Wilwood Big brake kit... http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Bra...%202%20&whl=18

Stick with oem rotor design if u don't go BBK. Drilled and/or slotted rotors are not needed with brake pad designs of today.
