She's making a noise in the rear passenger wheel, feels like brake issue, just ordered new rotors, calipers, pads, caliper kit etc from toyota, came out to be just over $1000. Am I wasting my money being as my now 35" tires eg wheel weight is so much more than oem? I know I Dobinson's lifted this truck and put 2.5" spacers, did the diff drop and upgraded the torsion bars but I'd love to try to keep the rest as stock as possible. Have I passed that point? Using Toyota oem oil filters and oem parts as much as possible within reason was kind of my first thoughts. Especially since my FrankenJeep is like 12 different vehicles. What do you guys think?
oem brakes w 35" tires?

It’s more about the driver than the brakes.
To be clear......you heard a noise near passenger wheel and spent $1000 in parts without knowing what the noise was?

Geez. BulElky, It cost nothing to order parts at the local dealership I ordered the parts bc the parts guy literally said it’ll cost you nothing for us to just bring the parts in. I’m old. This is not my first truck. I can feel it in the brakes and hear it. It’s the brakes. Do I need new rotors? Maybe not.,, but instead of replying as a hater can you answer the question? 35s, oem rear brake setup or aftermarket and why. Tomorrow I’ll have time to take the wheel off and see what’s going on was hoping for some love and support please, I always wanted this truck growing up now I have her
