8.8 Braking

For those of you who have installed 8.8's with disc brakes, can you honestly notice a difference in braking? If so, is it dramatic? My truck doesn't have stopping problems, but it sure isn't a Corvette either. I'm hoping that with the disc brakes, I'll gain a fair amount in stopping power. Thanks for any help!

i've really noticed it, going from 235's to 33 MT's on steel wheels added a lot of rotating mass.

so larger disc brakes helped out a lot.

Thanks :) That's what I was hoping to hear.

One of the best upgrades I've done to the truck. You can really feel the difference.

Thanks for your input! Too bad it's going to be Spring before I install it.
