Brake Part Suggestions?

[dakotajeep]

I am pretty much a novice when it comes to brakes. I am looking at replacing the current brakes with quality parts. The issue is that I am not exactly sure what quality is with brakes.

So far I have heard about doing a rear disk brake conversion but I am not doing that.

For the front I have heard that Hawk pads are good when mated with slotted rotors.

So the questions are:

What pads should I go with front and rear?
What type of rotors for the front?
Parts should be checked or just replaced due to being inexpensive if anything is?

Any suggestions would be great. Again, I am not doing the disks.....

Thanks

well i havnt seen too many brake upgrades for these trucks but....
hawk is generally good quality but if you want stopping power id go with baer brakes

I last used Moog parts rotors/drums etc with Wagner (thermoquiet) pads/shoes....... they are great for my use. One point to remember ...... oversized tires (circumference) will slow the rotor/drum speed slightly and may cause a difference in stopping power.
