Default Big brake kit?

It's time for new brakes on my 2011 screw. I would prefer to upgrade to a big brake kit, but I can't find them anywhere. Is this because there are still 09-14 F150s with warranties on the road? Or am I looking in the wrong places? Does anyone know if a big brake kit, ala Brembo, exist for the late model F150s?

I can't speak to this kit myself but I have read good things about it. Was researching so I can be prepared to do mine soon.

Amazon.com: Power Stop (K6268-36) Z36 Extreme Severe-Duty Truck & Tow Brake Kit, Front and Rear: Automotive Amazon.com: Power Stop (K6268-36) Z36 Extreme Severe-Duty Truck & Tow Brake Kit, Front and Rear: Automotive

Good luck

You can also upgrade the brake lines so they're more responsive (also more durable). These are really good! :

This is a good kit - have the slotted and drilled rotors and Z36 tow pads on both front and rear.

Much better stopping power than stock when towing my 7000lb travel trailer.

Would recommend

The Big brake kits are upwards of $2500-3000 per axle.

I put PowerStop pads and rotors on my 94 Thunderbird and those particular ones are awesome. I'm using the kit PJP linked to when I replace the ones on my F150.

Looking at Brembo and Wilwood direct sites I see 2wd and Raptor / pads only respectively. Maybe they have determined that there isn't a big enough market with the 4x4 F150s.
