I run dynatrac ball joints in my gladiator, teraflex in my last JL and JK, no complaints with either. They have held up to 37’s, 38’s, and 40’s.
Gladiators stop well to begin with, when I needed to put fresh pads on, I just went with some carbon towing pads from extreme terrain and they’ve been great.

Teraflex Delta brake. The best on the market.
A few things about Teraflext brakes.
Anti knock back springs behind each caliper piston meaning a very firm pedal.
They use Toyota tundra pads so upgrading pads is no issue.

I went with metal cloak baller ball joints as they are lifetime rebuildable. Pay once cry once. Teraflex sells a good joint dont know if they are rebuildable .
Northridge 4x4 has a nice video on ball joints showing 4 top brands and which ones are rebuildable. Etc...
