Adding a lot of weight to my Tahoe, need big ass brakes and upgrade in suspension

[Miguels]

the breaks on those tahoes are shit.. they only have like an inch 1/2 to 2 inches of contact area.. its not a must to do the breaks if he allows distance and not drive like an idiot breaking at the last minute.. trust me his breaks will suffer and i would upgrade them just to be safe.

Do you live on any big hills or similar where you'd be needing to use your brakes a lot? Looking into big brakes would be something you'd need to do if you need better heat dissipation. As far as improving pedal pressure with the extra weight, look into some better calipers. Braided stainless soft lines will help improve pedal feel. 2000lbs is a fair bit of weight don't get me wrong, but nothing different than it would be with a car full of people and towing a trailer.

For tires: I know everyone likes the look of the the low profile tires, but TBH I wouldn't consider them for a heavy daily ride with stiffer suspension. Would be too risky with potholes IMO. Pay mind to load ratings and speed ratings on the tires too

just please dont buy drilled rotors. and you really dont need slotted either. get high quality blanks and some better pads and you should be fine. better brake lines to improve feel and you should be good.
