Im looking to see what everyones front brake setups are for towing a car trailer with a race car just windering best performance and all that. Im stock right no have to replace calipers but last i towed my trailer my brakes were getting really hot and smoking a lil. Plz let me know what are some good options are parts wise for good brake performance while towing.

 

What truck do you have now.

 

I'm guessing it's a Ford. But yea, the year matters as far as suggestion.

 

Well I'll warn yuh right now, it's a long thread because it took some figuring out. There hasn't been much info on a big brake swap in the past. But the thread will get you there eventually, -

Crap guys im sorry i have a 99 F150 lariat with the 5.4

 

4wd? 2wd?

 

I towed very often with my 01 screw.
I actually found that the lifetime pads smoked and sucked ***** when trying to stop a 7000lbs load.. one day I put on a set of cheap pads from napa and although I know there gonna only last 2 years they work much better.
Also it sounds to me like you need to set up your trailer brakes​, use a heat gun and test how hot they are after you've​ been on them for a bit. If you can balance the temps between the truck and trailer by adjusting your brake gains you'll be good to go bro

 

Color ? What color is it ? I don't work on White trucks anymore.

 

Look into doing the Expedition brake swap, then get some tow rated pads (z36 by powerstop). I did the whole powerstop kit, I got the Expedition painted calipers, drilled and slotted rotors and the z36 pads. I would throw away the rotors and get solid rotors but other than that they did great for my needs (towing a 27' trailer, overloading my payload cap, etc).
