Brake upgrades for Ram 5500 dually

Anyone know of any brake upgrades (larger rotors/more # piston calipers) for a 2016-2017 Dodge Ram 5500 dually diesel? Gunna be using the truck for massive towing and want to up the braking power.

True, but extra raw braking power never hurt. I found someone who can do custom rotors and pads...just not calipers. The biggest calipers I found find were on the new BMW X6? running 20 inch rotors. I doubt the calipers would swap without heavy mods but I'd also be concerned with offseting the brake bias and such.

That's just using the stock sized rotors just upgraded with carbon ceramic pads?

I guess the alternative option is to have a full carbon/ceramic rotors and pads with a double caliper custom setup on each wheel. Anyone ever see that kind of mod?
