FASS or Big Brakes needed?

Got an '06 CTD 2500 w/ Mega Cab and 6" suspension lift w/ 35" tires. I've added gauges, cold air intake, 65hp Quadzilla chip, and Banks Moster Dual exhaust and High Ram. Do I need a FASS Pump and/or Big Brakes. If so, which ones and why? HP? Stopping power? I drive in Alaska and frequent winter conditions.

Thanks,
Phil

What is your plans for the truck? HP wise? AND mod wise? On your year truck, you have the option of running a CP3.4 or mod your current CP3. After you do this, it is suggest to run about 45 PSI to the inlet of the new pump. This will have a bearing on what pump to choose for your set up.

Pacbrake really warms up the engine in the mornings and slows you down very nice. Love mine

since you got the 06, take it to the dealer and get the ehaust brake. if not i think its always a good idea to remember your brakes when you get larger wheels and tires. the added weight makes quite a difference. the factory brakes are not to bad either though

What companies make aftermarket rotors or up-graded brake kits for our trucks?
