Recommendations for new Brakes?

[oskywawa]

I am currently at around 70k miles and brakes work ok but starting to feel a little squishy. I have never replaced brakes before but after watching a few videos I think I can do it myself and save a few bucks. Seeing some conflicting things on what to actual buy though. This truck is mainly a daily driver for me and other than an MPT tune and adding fogs/lightbar I haven't made other modifications. I am not going to be doing heavy off-roading but I like having the capability... Seeing some folks say the power stop rotors/pads are great, others saying they are terrible and to go with R1. Other saying saying just get OEM. It's difficult to navigate all the options... also I assume I should be changing the pads AND the rotors right? Appreciate any help for this noob.

You will definitely want to change the pads and rotors. Plus get a brake system flush.

As to which ones, I will leave that to others. I went with Alcon big brakes so have no insight on the pads.

Power stop Z36 truck brake package w/ some fresh fluid & maybe some stainless lines if you’re feeling froggy, call it a day

if you are going to replace lines or flush the system I highly recommend a one man bleeder bottle like they have on amazon for ~$25. They have a magnet so it'll stick to the caliper or rotor and a one way check valve in the lid. Just dont run the master dry

These are the ones right? Noticed some have 5 spokes and some have 6. The amazing vehicle match thing says these don’t match but I don’t think it is very good.

I have R1 rotors and pads but you can’t go wrong with the power stops either. Good luck and enjoy.

For anyone following this or reading in the future, looks like these are the correct ones. The picture shows 5 spoke but everyone says they are 6… will see when they arrive this weekend.

Map many sites don’t let you choose your vehicle as a Raptor. Ended up on the manufacturer site and I think o figured out the correct ones.

I have a brand new Powerstop z36 front and rear kit for 19+ with the electronic parking brake if anyone is near Cincinnati and needs a set. Probably not worth it to try and ship
