Default Brake Recommendation

Hi, I'm getting pretty violent vibration on a new (to me) 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 sport 4x4.

I tow a boat on occasion and would like something that would give me better braking than stock.

What is the best bang for my buck and where should I buy? I'm thinking new front and rear rotors pads and stainless steel lines.

Is that overkill? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Alot of guys run the brake motive stuff, they seem happy with it. I always ran Raybestos stuff.

Power Slot rotors and Hawk pads are pretty popular around here, as well. I changed mine out last summer, and the difference was not mind-blowing, but certainly effective enough to make me happy I did the upgrade, and DEFINITELY much more predictable than the stock setup.
