Not if they are on a truck that was originally meant for hauling and towing of large loads, the brakes on them are very capable to begin with, or if the owner upgraded the brakes (very rare) to be able to handle the extra rotating mass and leverage.
But yes as the OP was stating EOC is safer than a lifted truck, its just that the stoping distance may though not often actually be better than stock. Expecially when compaired to the cheap *** no grip tires that come from the factory.
