Default Brake Upgrades

I want to upgrade all the brakes on my 1986 Dodge B150 / I put a new 360 in to replace worn out 318 and would like to "beef" up brakes....any help / kits etc would help?

Many thanks ,

John

I would suggest hunting down a 3/4 ton or 1 ton. I've never had any luck with 1/2 ton vans, it's too easy to overload them.
If you are towing with it you can add electric brakes, that's about the easiest thing to do. If you aren't towing and you are overloaded then perhaps you should get an enclosed trailer with electric brakes.
