I'm not sure I agree with everyone regarding the brakes needing to be upgraded. On my gen 1 LWB v6 with 33's it stopped fine however, I wasn't driving it like it were a lightweight sedan. I drove it ensuring I had sufficient stopping distance between myself and others around me. With the stock setup, I could lock up all 4 without a problem which tells me there's sufficient braking power. In my experience, with the brake system in good condition and proper driving/braking technique which includes driving with a proper buffer between yourself and others around you, it did fine stopping.
