I forgot how to spell it bit its alkobono or something like that. What will be put on mine when I do the caliper, rotors are pretty much free for all but don't go with a not well known company, or the cheap ones from autozone.

if you search through this forum there are a few threads on brake rotor/pad combo recommendations. After researching, I ended up replacing all 4 rotors and pads on my 2008 sport (at 40K miles, i had brake vibrations) with DBA T3 slot rotors and hawk LT pads, all bought from hawkpadsdirect.com. I've had them for just over 1500 miles now and love the breaking power, but the rotors are a bit on the pricey side. The DBA rotors have substantially more material than the stock rotors, I feel the stock rotors are honestly a little on the thin side for this size truck, but again i like everything to be over-engineered.

Akebono is the name, I heard wagners are bite a little harder than these (local auto part store brakes)

Not to hijack but can someone who knows about brake calipers and rotors head over to the Maintenance section and look at the last post; doesn't seem to be a lot of traffic there and I was trying not to start another thread.
