I highly recommend the Akebono ceramic pads, you can order everything from Tire Rack. They have whatever rotors you want as well. For normal street driving I'd just get the normal rotors. If you routinely tow with the truck you might want to choose the drilled rotors.

I come from a high performance world with my last two vehicles so I will never use any ceramic pads. I need metallic for the stopping power. brake dust does not bother me as I clean my vehicles weekly and I would rather have dust with top notch stopping power then low or no dust and I have to start to brake way earlier then I normally would have.

I paid 230 for drilled and slotted rotors with pads from seller brake motive on eBay. I had no issues with them and 06f150sct has them with 37s. Here's my thread

Whatever brand you get in the rotor category be sure to only get slotted or drilled or slot-drilled. Slotted and drilled weaken the rotor. Rotor warp can be caused by having some lug nuts tighter than others, from Truckin Mag.

Slotted and drilled rotors will start cracking in between the drilled holes also.

I was told that depending on the rotors they will, sounds like slotted is the way to go with ceramic pads.

never get drilled rotors not worth it at all and the life will be severely shortened. Slotted rotors are perfectly fine!

Are the eBay slotted rotors fine?

On eBay watch out for who the seller is, Top Rated and # of sells and feedback. Make sure of the brand and read ALL of the fine print. Also pay attention to the return policy. Also pay with a CC so you have recourse if things go wrong, never rely on eBay to save you despite their big claims of protection.
