GEN 2 Has anyone tried the FactionFab Front Brake Upgrade?

[NM_Life_Defender]

Hi Everyone,

I have a 2019 that is Goosetuned Stage 1, and the truck really needs a brake upgrade with as fast and heavy as it is. I have 27k miles on my Gen 2, and the stock brakes have plenty of life left, but in hard stops from high speeds I get some vibration in the pedal, and the stopping power is lacking.

I'm coming from a BMW that had M Performance brakes and felt like it would pull my face off with a full power stop.

Came across these from FactionFab on the Apollo Optics site, and I'm wondering if anyone has experience and can post reviews/impressions.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Might give this a read... need to update it, but it's ALL positive.

The search for more brake Sooooo after cooking my OE brakes (street fade) here in the land of 75-85mph speed limits and short off ramps, I started looking around for upgrade options. The F150/Raptor Alcon kit seemed to be the early go to, but I just found it WAY too expensive at $3200-$3900...

A number of us are running either Alcons or a pad/rotor upgrade. Check out the thread that @Zeusmotorworks posted.

The pad and rotor combo will not help braking power, just heat dissipation. If you want stopping power, look at Alcon.

This. I did the factionfab upgrade first - same shit different day. Went to alcon fronts (have the faction fab stuff in rear) and the truck stops like a supercar.

but do the Alcon require larger than 17" wheel?

No. They were designed to fit under the factory 17s. In fact, I had problems with my 20s and had to switch down to 17s to fit properly.

You should feel the stopping power with front AND rear Alcons. I just look at the brake pedal and it stops.

LOL… stops now better than the wife’s 100k Benz.

I'd be willing to bet that a truck with only fronts would stop within 6 inches of a truck with front and rear.

Some's 6 inches are bigger than others.
