    The standard brakes from GM are pretty good, they last awhile (on the new body style) and don't squeek. Stock=reliable

    Willie exactly are you looking to improve? More mileage on a set of brakes, better braking power?
    If you are having problems stopping with the boat, maybe your trailer needs adjustment :idea:
    or buy a smaller boat

    Willie I run the fleet pads on our Ho. THey are quiet and minimal dusting, well worth the extra bit of cash you will spend. I would get your rotors turned while your at it. If you can afford it I would go for the disc braek upgrade to the rear!

    Aside from a major upgrade...there isn't much you can do....I put a set of Stillen Rotors on our 97 1/2 ton Suburban (I think the same brakes as your 99) I have been told that the 3/4 ton suburban calipers are supposed to fit the 1/2 tons..but never checked that angle out...either way...the factory pads seem to work the best as far as not squeeking...

    smaller boat isn't that illegal in some states............ :hammer2: i was just looking for something better than factory.i haven't had any problems stopping the boat but i didnt want to over work the break system.
    mrs jet your one hell of a lady if your doing the breaks on the car i think i will go with the fleet since you approved them :wink:
