need help picking new rotors and brakes
I am absolutely brainless when it comes to brakes and rotors, Ive been reading about trucks jumping up and down when hitting the brakes and this is what mine does. Read that this is the problem the rotors are warped and should just replace the brake pads while under there too. Im running 325/60/18s 4wd, can anyone suggest me something good please?

There are a number of choices out there. Bear in mind you get what you pay for. Powerslots and Hawks are a popular combo. EBC also makes some good brakes. And yes you will need to change the pads when you change the rotors. Your rotors are warped and scorched from heat. The pads are also scorched and thus no good.

I did a lot of research on this prior to doing mine a few months ago. You may not need new rotors. Pull the rotors and have them measured. If they are servicable just have them turned but it's important not to use the factory brake pads. From what I understand the pads are the reason the rotors warp so frequently. I went with Wagner Thermoquiet Ceramics and I couldn't be happier. Stopping power is excellent and there's no more of that damn brown/red brake dust.
