I'm putting a 6" lift and 35" tires with some American racing black rims on my 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4. Should i be upgrading my brakes or any other things? Anyone have any thoughts?

You should be ok on the brakes!!

You should be fine w/ brakes. You will feel a noticeable difference w/ the braided steel brake lines tho. Much firmer pedal. Which kit you going with? Oh & get yourself a programmer to get some of that power back if you haven't already.

I would say you don't NEED to but would probably benefit going to some Powerslots and some nice pads. Just to handle the extra load. These trucks are notorious for warping rotors as it is due to heat buildup from heavy wheels/tires. What's another $500 all the way around for a higher performance setup?

 Go with EBC pads. My Hawk pads suck. Oh, and stainless brake lines, too.
