I think I am just going with OEM as everything else looks like chinesium crap, but throwing this out for 1 last recommendation.

Rotated the tires this weekend and I am 1/16th of an inch from the wear makers touching the rotors. New pads an rotors needed within the month.

Roush has a very good looking six pot brake system for surprisingly not too much money. Well considering how much parts for these trucks are. I would check them out!

I went thru pads and warped my front rotors after a few months of driving back and forth to Denver, CO on the weekends from Avon, CO while working at Eagle, CO airport HAATS National Guard unit.

The theory my coworker, and I, came up with was that the cold winter weather, snow, rain, etc. had an adverse effect on my rotors as they would heat up from braking going down the steep hills. Then, cooled very quickly by the aforementioned elements.

I did initially use Ford parts only for it to happen again shortly after. Eventually went to carbon ceramic rotors and pads. No more problems. Been on the truck since 2018.

For the record. I tried to buy the EBS Brakes and yellow pads, but American Trucks sucks. Ended up doing the Power Stop Z36 from Amazon.

My greatest purchase was the $30 mechanics seat from Harbor freight. Couldn't have done the job without it.

Just remember there would be no gen two without gen one. For the record I too love how the gen twos look. ;)

Ha! Just realized we’re both in the wrong section!
Like that feeling when you realize there’s no urinals in the bathroom, there’s a tampon dispenser and you’re being stared at disapprovingly...
