Do you know how much weight it's supposed to handle? It's only bolted on to the factory rails. When I looked up the brand, it seems like they were bought out.

Thanks. I kinda figured that would be the limit, I'll play it safe. Plus my tire is only a 235. Probably will use it for bags and fishing gear.

It was cruiser54. He just said id be better off with EBC pads and standard rotors. Could be just due to me being stock. But idk.

I have high respect for cruiser54. But slotted and drilled trump standard rotors any day.
Ebc's and slotted and drilled is the best combo without spending $1000's.
