Brake upgrades, oversized rotors?

I know a lot of sport cars and muscle cars have larger aftermarket rotors and calipers available, is anything like that available for our trucks?

I'm not really looking for a brake booster like a Hydraboost, nor do I think rear disk brakes is going to give me a significant benefit because the vast majority of your weight and braking is the front wheels.

I've radically increased the size of my tires to 40 inches tall, thereby increasing the torque the wheel will apply against the brake rotor. So I'm looking for larger brake rotors to compensate, but I haven't seen any big brake kits for these trucks.

I'm running a D44 front and Corp 14FF rear.
