Brake pads??????

It's time to put new pads on my truck.
I have a 2008 F-150 4x4 with disc all the way around.
What pads do you guys recomend?
Should I go to the dealer and purchase stock pads from them or are there cheaper options out there that work as well?

You can't beat Wagner ThermoQuiets. Do an advanced search on them and you will find lots to read. I am on my second set. Got 80,000 out of the first set and they could have made it to 100,000. No dust either.

I use EBC GreenStuff on my Viper and they cut way down on the dust, plus they provide squeak free stopping which is a common nuisance with the Viper brakes from the factory.

They also make a very low dust version for our trucks.

When my brakes finally wear out, I will try them on my truck.

I'm using the EBC GreenStuff 7000's right now. Been on for almost 25,000 miles and not even half gone. Literally almost zero dust, literally, and perform flawlessly.
