Just my thoughts, I hear alot of Brake & Rotor problems with 93 & up Suburbans not sure with Pick Ups though, I am sure they are similiar.

That is one sweet looking truck. If that is the one that you are saying that the brakes suck, i notice you have quite a large wheel/tire combo. Did you by any chance upgrade the rotors to a larger size to accomidate the increased rotating mass of those tires? If not , that would definetly be causing your braking problems.
