Upgrading to stainless steel brake lines would improve stopping power quite a bit. I'll recommend EBC for pads and rotors.

I may get flamed for saying this, but I think drilled/slotted rotors look sort of out of place on a truck and it also removes much needed mass and surface area from the rotors. Plus, with those cheaper drilled/slotted rotors you have no idea where the blanks came from (Stoptech is Centric though, so probably better than some of the others).

I decided to go with Raybestos Advanced Technology rotors and Wagner OEx pads, and will be installing them this week. The rotors were only $58 each shipped and the pads were $43 for the set shipped:

I won't flame bc I think slotted or drilled are overkill for most situations. If brembo, the best name in brakes, sells vehicles with blank rotors that actually perform I think most would be fine with blanks. Personally I will be running blank EBC rotors with green stuff pads bc I know EBC is good stuff (I ride sport bikes).

Just an FYI to others who are having brake issues with low mileage on their truck, I took my 14' truck in with 31K (kilometers) mileage in because the front brakes were vibrating when braking at highway speeds. They replaced both front rotors for brand new OEM ones at no charge. Machining them would make them out of spec so their only choice were to replace them.

I was wondering the same thing. Do the pads actually look like they do in the box with multiple individual pads per side? Look kinda neat/crazy.
