    Whatever brand you choose, go with ceramic pads. No brake dust, and some seriously nice stopping power.

    Yea that's fine. They should be able to get you pads that fit. I have Advanc Auto pads on mine. Can't afford the Centric Powerslot rotors and Hawk LTS pads that I want.

    yes it's pretty easy.

    Im running ebc green 7000 with d/s rotors. May be a bit much for some people but when you make your truck a 1700 kg to a 2400kg stopping power is nice

    I talked to the parts center at the dealership, OEM were something like a $130 but the guy said they also just came out with ceramic "replacement" pads for $60. I figured I'd try the cheap pads out and if I don't like them I'll order the OEMs online for the same price. Obviously it would have been better to just order those online first but I got caught up in the moment... Anyone with any experience with these replacement pads? I'll put them on today

    If you can't get OEM, Wagner ThermoQuiet are good. Just replaced mine yesterday with them. No issues at all with fit or noise (yet), but I'm still in the bedding in period.

    I've been a fan of Hawk HPS pads on my cars. Just installed a set on the truck. Think they were $55 from Amazon. Slid right in and stop fine for me so far

    Centric fleet peformance pads. They are rebadged version of Stoptech street performance pads. They have a lot of stopping power but they dust like crazy.

    I have 131k on my original, factory brakes, and still have 3/16" before the wear marks. They stop well under all conditions, i.e. towing, hauling, rain, snow etc. There is no brake dust. I have had no squealing noises during the entire 130k.
    I will stay with the factory brakes.

    Whatever you go with, get a set of guide pins. If you don't have them on hand, you will probably have to cut them out. Murphy's law.
