Help Me Make This Thing Stop!!!

Ok guys I once again need your expert help. I havent been on here cause we've been busy trying to finish up "FrankenDodge" Which is what we named the Dodge.. Ok I need to find the biggest brakes I can possibly get to help me stop the truck. To give you all alittle info on "FrankenDodge" The differentials came off an 04 F250. as much as I wanted to keep my stock diffs I got these for a super price. Now they recommended I upgraded the brakes "DUH" But upgrade to a set off an F650. Now where would I begin my search or does anyone have another idea of what I can upgrade too. Thanks again in advance guys. Here are some updated pics.. Enjoy!!!

Just wrote them ebc an email. I noticed on there site they make brakes for heavy equipment and stuff like that. Hope they can help. Thanks for the suggestion. If you look in my gallery I have pictures of the suspension and all the custom stuff we had to do to make this thing happen.

Did you get the entire front and rear ends from the Ford, hub to hub? If so, maybe the F650 brakes would be the best option. Basically, I'd be looking for the largest rotors/drums I could get my hands on.

Regardless, I think you're beyond the normal recommendation for larger wheel cylinders in the rear drums.

F650 brakes won't even come close to fitting. The only upgrade, aside from going to the aftermarket is trying to adapt a set of F450/550 brakes on those axles. The 450/550 uses essentially the same axle up front, but the rear is not the same and will take some fabrication to make them fit. Really the best thing to do is buy some aftermarket calipers/pads/rotors instead of trying to adapt other stock parts. I'd take a look at SSBC. I know they have upgraded 4 piston calipers for the axles you're using.

Not related to your truck, but I have EBC brakes on my ice racing YZ450F. For ice racing, having that 320 mm floating disk on the front is like being stopped by the Hand of God. It is true 1 finger braking...

Yes both are ford front and rear ends hub to hub. I spoke to someone her in miami who said that the f650 would fit. I have also looked into the ssbc brake kit but its really super expensive. Iam waiting for ebc to answer an email I wrote to them to see what they suggest. Thanks again guys for your help and great suggestions. I will let you guys know what I decide to do.

That truck is badass! Not sure about the brakes, I think an aftermarket upgrade is a better way to go than stock. SSBC might be expensive, but your truck is off the chain, might as well drop a little more change. JMO.
