2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brakes

Brakes--bigger wheel cylinders or rear disk conversion

Ok. My next upgrade will be the brakes. Now, how should I do this? Upgrade the pads and brake lines from EGR and get bigger wheel cylinders from Napa (this is the cheapest option but not necessarily the best) or completely convert my back brakes to disk and get the pads and brake lines from EGR (more expensive)?



Now I will be hauling a camper and towing a trailer with either two four wheelers or a small Jeep through Alaska mountains. I am looking for the best stopping power for my money and I want to stop my beast without eating some small rice burner that seems to pull out in front of me daily.



Any suggestions?

I have a 97 2500 and I installed the Napa cylinders, but it really didn't do much. I just purchased the rear conv. from EGR but I have not installed yet. I also bought the Brake Guard setup.

Saw Brake Guard in Trailer Life. Wondered what it was? Have EGR's on mine now and they have done pretty well. They don't adjust my back brakes though, what a PITA to constantly have to fool with them. Would like to get the rear disk set up but can't afford them!
