Brake help!
I have a 2008 f150 fx2 2wd with the 4.6, I'm going to do my brakes here soon and need some help! I have aftermarket wheels and tires that are killing my stock brakes, I have the one piece assembly that is the hub/rotor in one. I am looking for a good rotor/hub assembly that is worth buying, maybe a normal, or slotted or dimpled and slotted? Whats the best brake pad material to go with? I just need to now the best options for me...

There's quite a bit out there doing the conversion kit to get rid of the one piece rotor/hub. It's really up to you if you wanna spend the time and money.
As far as pad material, it really depends on what you wanna do. Semi-metallic is OE and better if you tow often or want better stopping. Ceramic is fine, they're selling point is "dust free" but you sacrifice better stopping and they're harsh on the rotor if not seated correctly.
