I pull 14 foot utility trailer with 2 quads and an 22 foot pontoon boat a lot in the summer months, braking was always an issue when towing with my 33 in tires. Recently I just upgrade my jeeps brakes to powerstop slotted and drill rotors and the performance ceramic carbon brake pads and all I can say is wow night and day. When I started looking for a better setup I considered ebc oversized rotors and green stuff kit but $1300 Canadian price tag leaned me to powerstop . Purchased them on rockauto just over $400 Canadian delivered to my front door in 4 days. Not to bad also the pads come with slider boots witch you don't see included most times and if you have done a lot of brakes you will no the boots dry up and get torn when servicing the caliper sliders. First time the wife took the Jeep to work after I did the brakes she spilt her coffee all over herself and the dash when she had to lock them up on the hyway 401 when traffic went from 120 km to 0 in less the 200 meters. She said the guy in the pick up behind her almost ran into her as she was eating the stearing wheel.

I've had really good luck with E-Trailer. Com, you will need to know a few things. Axle weight such as 3500 lb,2000 lb, or so on. There should be some kind of identification on it somewhere.
