I would LOVE to get bigger rotors, and I spent a couple hours searching for a kit about a year ago, couldn't find anything. I've got 40" tires, I'd really like to have a little extra leverage from the brakes to counteract the extra leverage from the larger tires.

I saw some homemade jobs, and my fab skills aren't bad, but I don't trust them to anything that critical.

I've seen big-brake kits for lots of sports cars, but have never been able to find anything for our trucks other than OEM-style replacement.
