Contrary to what some people think, aftermarket brake components are not only for hotrods or muscle cars. Even the most basic, most common and popular modification for any F150 pickup truck - installing a larger set of aftermarket tires - can have a drastic effect on braking performance due to the now increased rotating mass. Thus it is paramount your truck be able to safely stop within a short distance and repeatedly so. The higher the gross weight of your F150 is (occupants, hauling cargo), the more stopping power needed for any given speed. This means you need to push harder on the brake pedal, which in turn creates more heat throughout the entire system. At a certain point, the brakes will be too hot and fade, causing deteriorated performance and extra long stopping distances. The solution to this is to upgrade the factory braking system with one that is more or less impervious to fade.
