    While I agree rear wheel disk brakes are generally better than drums, I chose to go with the Vanco front brake upgrade kit (see link below) when introduced a few years ago. These allow me to lock my 33x12.5x15 MTRs at will and others state same results with 35 or larger. Since front brakes do most of the work due to weight transfer, this is the most critical area for improvement. You can do a search here or on other forums, but Vanco kit developer's statement was that OEM calipers distort under heavy load with "oversized" tires, resulting in reduced brake pad to rotor surface area. I'm a satisfied customer...
