Default Monster Brakes for 04 Discovery

Does anyone know if larger brakes are available for the 04 Disco. My truck has a 2" lift and weighs quite a bit because it is outfitted for overland travel . It has a Roof Rack with Tent,ARB bumper and winch and 31 dura track tires. I just replaced the brakes and still feel they are just not safe.

If they aren't working properly, your truck is overloaded or your braking system is compromised.

Yeah, what he said. Maybe you could try bleeding your brakes. How old are the hoses?

What brake pads are you using and did you replace the rotors.
