    NAPA blanks and performance pads are fine or OEM. Drilled rotors aren't needed for trucks. Flush the entire system with high quality fluid and you're good. Just my opinion from years of experience.

    Have them on my 09 since 2017 and they are great. Make sure you do the recommended burn-in stops.
    Better stopping power as I have towed trailers and boats.
    Drilled/slotted and no cracks ever seen on the rotors.

    Avoid drilled rotors. They may be promoted as a performance product but with all high-performance products extra maintenance and shorter life span is part of that. Drilled rotors do tend to develop cracks at the holes. Slots are ok.

    While that can happen, I wouldn't say that they "tend" to develop cracks at the holes. I would choose slotted over drilled, but unless you're taking your truck to the track every weekend, don't lose any sleep over having/using drilled rotors.
