I had a full brake system upgrade, which was the replacement of all rotors and pads with the following gear on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport 4-Door.

Front Brake Pads - https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/power...pads-with-hardware-z36-1273/_/R-BHKQ-Z36-1273

Rear Brake Pads - https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/power...pads-with-hardware-z36-1274/_/R-BHKQ-Z36-1274

Front Rotors - https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/power...ont-brake-rotors-ar8780xpr/_/R-BHKQ-AR8780XPR

Rear Rotors - https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/power...ear-brake-rotors-ar8382xpr/_/R-BHKQ-AR8382XPR

I decided to upgrade the braking as I do tow a trailer and wanted to ensure that there was enough stopping power.

These rotors front and rear are drilled for cooling.

I'll keep everyone posted on how they do and what if any issues might arise. So far I have noticed a difference with stopping the Wrangler, especially with the larger tires that I do have on the Wrangler.

I put these on my F150, good brakes, but unfortunately they aren’t significant upgrades for towing or bigger tires.

Drilled and slotted are good for cooling them, but with bigger tires I don’t believe these will add more stopping power.

My JK already had the Terraflex big brake kit on it when I bought it so I can't compare it to the stock brakes. I do know this it does stop good.

The big brake kits are the same as what comes on a 2009 Dodge 1500 truck stock, i've read where people will buy the parts for that to do there JK's. I think somewhere I have the part info for doing that.
