I tried that in my 09 and everything flew out from under the back seat and I about kissed the windshield. I feel something is wrong, put it this way, it is better with the oem brakes on there, but before that I would not want my mom to drive it. And if you asked if I am a satisfied customer with my brake job, I would say no. I just feel they need to be better

What pads are you running? Delco's? Ceramic? Ive owned quite a few 99-04 1/2 tons & never noticed any problems with the brakes as far as a design/engineering issue. The parking brake on the other hand sucks. The brakes are ALOT better than the 88-98 trucks.
Ceramic pads require a long "break in" before they stop good. Are the caliper slides & harware in good shape?
Wagner HD semi-metallic pads would make it stop! Brake rotor wear, brake dust & noise whould follow but it would stop.
