Any high mileage guys towing travel trailers?

Second EBC.

 

Seems like there are a few people out there, not GM specific, that state their Powerstop tend to fade when toying. They swapped out to EBC and had greater, percieved, performance.

Since I already have the air bags, I will continue to use those. But the option of adding a 2" block to the rear, although it would also work, it kind of defeats the purpose of leveling in the first place. I am not overloading the truck, it's fully within its capacities, the air bags just help with the load put on by the trailer. If I was running a much higher psi, say 60-70psi or even higher, tried to load up the bed with a lot of weight, and then hitched up the toyhauler, that would then make sense as it would be removing a lot of the weight from the leaf springs and concentrating the load all in one smaller section of the frame.
