2006 F350: I need to upgrade my brakes when pulling my fifth wheel (Raptor 3 axle) it''''s tough to slow down on those 7 degree steep downhill rides. Usually front brakes heat up too much or get front end wobble when trying to stop quickly. What''''s a good upgrade?

You are probably better off functionally and financially if you go to an aftermarket trailer braking system similar to the optional one on the new trucks. I assume that your trailer has brakes and you currently have no way to activiate or use them?
