Didn't notice this picture and description in post #48 above? Maybe the 2009's don't have rotors tapped for extraction bolts?
Warning: If you have a 2011 or newer with EPAS, DO NOT start wailing on the rotor with a hammer unless you disconnect the battery or feel like buying a new and quite expensive EPAS steering rack...
Also, these are the pad differences... Visually, they are not very different, but the pads are most certainly different for inside and out. And if you don't get it correct, well see the post with rubbing brakes above. Definitely for 2010-2014, not sure about 2009.

Should be available in even the most understocked hardware, auto parts, or home supply type store, especially since grade, finish, length, even head-style doesn't really matter.

Yeah I know what you and others are talking about with the pad difference. As I said I was a little worried when they came and they were all the same, no ears on any of them. But OE pads that were in there were the same , no ears. Thinking about it more it must be a 2010+ change due to them changing the brakes entirely in 2010.

So, had these on for a few days and honestly I'm disappointed. They feel the same or possibly even worse than the stock rotors and pads i took off. they seem to be light on the initial bite and offer no greater high pressure grabbing. I guess not bad for 185, but had I done it again I'd have gone with a more towing specific pad and slotted rotors from stoptech, or even a bigger brake kit, but the LTS and quiet stop rotors are not that great.
