I regularly tow my Dodge Ram 1500 which includes mountain passes and long drives of 600-800 miles. I had good initial performance from the factory brakes and discs, but over the course of 12,000 miles the factory discs warped. I spoke to several locals who tow the same truck and they recommended a Power Stop Severe Duty kit for the truck. I then spoke to my local dealer and got the same recommendation. After installing the kit and following the break-in instructions, I was amazed at the change in performance. The brakes have a very predictable, smooth progression of stopping power and a significant increase in overall stopping power. My only regret is that I didn't install these brakes sooner!
