    I replaced everything - rotors, calipers and pads - all from NAPA - all there best quality level - brakes work great but it would be hard to say if it's because of any one component - as an aside the calipers are coated black for rust resistance - Advance coated calipers are catch as catch can. Rotors are coated too - I wonder if that is worth the extra $$ since the pads remove the coating as soon as U use the brakes.

    I was debating if I should replace calipers or just do the pads and rotors and see how that goes….
    But I would suspect the coating will still help the rest of the rotors that doesn't come in contact with the pads so still worth it in my opinion

    Finally figured out my issue Feel kind of dumb now. So my issue was the Lower ball joint castle nut that has the cotter pin attached to bracket that attaches to spindle was loose. I retorqued every bolt on the entire front end a couple times except that bolt because I kept telling myself it has a cotter pin it cant be loose. Should of Known. Every time i jacked the truck up everything was good which now I know why....

    Only found this out because i replaced my LCA's thinking maybe the bushings were bad and when i went to press the bracket off the driver side ball joint i barely put pressure on it and it just fell off scratched my head like thats not right. Did the passenger side and it took quite a bit of pressure to pop it off.

    Anyway replaced both LCA's OEM torqued everthing Got alignment which i was amazed by the results and boi does the truck drive and handle so much better.
