It's probably not a bad idea considering our brakes leave a lot to be desired in the first place and 20's will be quite a bit heavier than stock.

Dubs eh? Have fun with that. You do know your truck will be slower, won't stop as fast (without the brake upgrade), and will get worse fuel economy, right?

Just about any site that has stuff for Daks, click on some of the sponsors. You can also do a viper brake upgrade and throw some discs in the rear if you're arms really are that long.
